Kontsevich's spherical-object monodromy conjecture

Let D(X)\mathbf{D}(X) be the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi–Yau threefold XX, and let A\mathsf{A} be a spherical D-brane that becomes massless, together with its translates. For another D-brane B\mathsf{B}, let hom(A,B)\operatorname{hom}(\mathsf{A},\mathsf{B}) denote the derived morphism complex. Kontsevich's spherical-object monodromy conjecture. Looping around the corresponding component of the discriminant locus should relabel D-branes by an autoequivalence under which

BCone(hom(A,B)AB).\mathsf{B}\longmapsto\operatorname{Cone}(\operatorname{hom}(\mathsf{A},\mathsf{B})\otimes\mathsf{A}\to\mathsf{B}).

This is the proposed monodromy action associated with a single massless D-brane and is motivated by PiPi-stability; the source gives no resolution.
