Joyce's stability-independent counting invariant conjecture for K3 and abelian surfaces

About 22 years old · traced to

Let XX be a K3 surface or an abelian surface. Let N(X) N(X) be the numerical Grothendieck group, let C(X)⊂N(X)C(X)\subset N(X) be the image of Coh⁡(X)→N(X)\operatorname{Coh}(X)\to N(X), let Λ\Lambda be the coefficient algebra, and let Stab⁡∗(X)\operatorname{Stab}^{\ast}(X) be the specified space of Bridgeland stability conditions. For σ∈Stab⁡∗(X)\sigma\in\operatorname{Stab}^{\ast}(X) and α∈N(X)\alpha\in N(X), write Jα(σ)J^{\alpha}(\sigma) for the weighted counting of σ\sigma-semistable objects of numerical type α\alpha, and let J^α\hat{J}^{\alpha} denote Joyce's invariant for semistable sheaves.

Joyce's conjecture. For every σ∈Stab⁡∗(X)\sigma\in\operatorname{Stab}^{\ast}(X) and α∈N(X)\alpha\in N(X), there is an invariant Jα(σ)∈ΛJ^{\alpha}(\sigma)\in\Lambda such that Jα(σ)J^{\alpha}(\sigma) does not depend on the choice of σ\sigma; hence it may be denoted by Jα∈ΛJ^{\alpha}\in\Lambda. If α∈C(X)\alpha\in C(X), then

Jα=J^α.J^{\alpha}=\hat{J}^{\alpha}.

The conjecture extends Joyce's counting invariants from semistable sheaves to semistable objects in the derived category and relates them to Bridgeland stability conditions. The cited source presents it as Joyce's proposal; no resolution is supplied here.
