The EZ-transformation monodromy autoequivalence conjecture

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau threefold containing a subspace EE, let i:EXi:E\hookrightarrow X be the inclusion, and let q:EZq:E\to Z be the contraction associated with an EZ-transformation. Let i!i^! be the right adjoint of ii_* on derived categories, characterized by

HomX(iE,F)HomE(E,i!F).\operatorname{Hom}_X(i_*\mathsf{E},\mathsf{F})\cong\operatorname{Hom}_E(\mathsf{E},i^!\mathsf{F}).

EZ-transformation monodromy autoequivalence conjecture. The monodromy around the discriminant in the wall associated with a phase transition given by an EZ-transformation should act on D(X)\mathbf{D}(X) by the autoequivalence

BCone(iqqi!BB).\mathsf{B}\longmapsto\operatorname{Cone}(i_*q^*q_*i^!\mathsf{B}\to\mathsf{B}).

This is the proposed autoequivalence induced by the massless objects from the preceding conjecture; the source gives no resolution.
