Conjecture on the instanton partition function for rational surfaces

Let XX be a rational surface, let v0v_0 denote the relevant charge, let Zv0(τ)Z_{v_0}(\tau) be its partition function, let Z~v0(τ)\widetilde{Z}_{v_0}^{\int}(\tau) be the corresponding integrated generating function, let η\eta be the Dedekind eta function, and let χ(X)\chi(X) be the Euler characteristic of XX. Rational-surface partition-function conjecture. Up to holomorphic anomaly,

Zv0(τ)=Z~v0(τ)14η(2τ)χ(X).Z_{v_0}(\tau)=\widetilde{Z}_{v_0}^{\int}(\tau)-\frac{1}{4\eta(2\tau)^{\chi(X)}}.

This conjecture predicts the correction relating the partition function to the integrated generating function for rational surfaces; the statement leaves the holomorphic-anomaly contribution unspecified.
