The primary-component masslessness conjecture for the structure sheaf

From papers

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau threefold, and let Δ\Delta be the discriminant locus in the moduli space of conformal field theories. Its primary component is the component corresponding to viewing the full convex hull of the monomial set as a face of itself. Let OX\mathcal{O}_X be the structure sheaf, and consider the 6-brane associated with it and its translates. Primary-component masslessness conjecture. At any point on the primary component of Δ\Delta reached by a suitable path from a suitable basepoint, the 6-brane associated with OX\mathcal{O}_X and its translates should become massless; at a generic point, no other D-branes should become massless. This conjecture identifies the primary discriminant component with the locus where the structure-sheaf brane becomes massless; the source gives no resolution.
