The critical COHA–deformed W-algebra isomorphism for Calabi–Yau threefolds

From papers

Let MM be a Calabi–Yau threefold, let H(M)H^*(M) denote its cohomology, and let W+(M)W^+(M) be the algebra generated by Tn(λ)T_n(\lambda) for n0n{\geqslant} 0 and λH(M)\lambda\in H^*(M), subject to the relations (b) and (e)–(g) of Definition of the source, with s2s_2 replaced by c2(TM)c_2(TM) and c1ΔSc_1\Delta_S replaced by ΔM\Delta_M. Let H0crit(M)=Hcrit(Coh0(M))\mathbf{H}^{\mathrm{crit}}_0(M)=H^*_{\mathrm{crit}}(\mathcal{C}oh^0(M)) be the critical COHA of the stack of finite-length sheaves on MM. Critical COHA–deformed W-algebra conjecture. There is an isomorphism

H0crit(M)W+(M).\mathbf{H}^{\mathrm{crit}}_0(M)\simeq W^+(M).

This predicts that the critical COHA of any Calabi–Yau threefold admits a presentation by the corresponding deformed WW-algebra, extending the surface result discussed in the paper. The statement is presented as an expectation, and no proof or resolution is supplied here.
