Joyce's extended Donaldson–Thomas invariant conjecture

About 22 years old · traced to

Fix K=C\mathbb K=\mathbb C. Let PP be a Calabi–Yau 33-fold, set A=coh⁡(P)\mathcal A=\operatorname{coh}(P), and let FA\mathfrak F_{\mathcal A} and K(A)K(\mathcal A) be as in the source. Let (τ,T,⩽)(\tau,T,\leqslant) be a permissible stability condition of Gieseker type on A\mathcal A, and let C(A)C(\mathcal A) denote the cone of classes under consideration. Joyce's extended Donaldson–Thomas conjecture. There should exist extended Donaldson–Thomas invariants DTˉα(τ)∈Q\bar{DT}^\alpha(\tau)\in\mathbb Q for all α∈C(A)\alpha\in C(\mathcal A), unchanged under deformations of PP and transforming according to the stated wall-crossing formula under changes of stability condition. Whenever Obj⁡ssα(τ)=Obj⁡stα(τ)\operatorname{Obj}_{\rm ss}^\alpha(\tau)=\operatorname{Obj}_{\rm st}^\alpha(\tau), so that DTα(τ)DT^\alpha(\tau) is defined, one should have

DTˉα(τ)=DTα(τ)∈Z.\bar{DT}^\alpha(\tau)=DT^\alpha(\tau)\in\mathbb Z.

There may also be more complicated systems of rational-valued invariants with analogous deformation-invariance and transformation properties. The conjecture aims to combine the deformation behaviour of Donaldson–Thomas invariants with the wall-crossing behaviour of Joyce's motivic invariants. The author says that proving it is feasible but difficult and would probably require virtual moduli cycle technology; the source gives no resolution.
