Conjectural generating series for self-dual DT invariants of the \u007eA1 quiver with sign choices
Establish the proposed generating series identities for the motivic self-dual DT invariants of the self-dual \u007eA1 quiver under the three sign assignments specified by the authors. Concretely, prove that the series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty q^{n/2} \, \mathrm{DT}^{\mathrm{mot,sd}}_{(n,n)}(\tau)$ equals (i) $(1-q)^{1/2} / \bigl((1 - q^{1/2} \, \mathbb{L}^{-1/2})(1 - q^{1/2} \, \mathbb{L}^{1/2})\bigr)$ for $(+,++)$ and $(-,--)$, (ii) $\bigl((1+q^{1/2})/(1-q^{1/2})\bigr)^{1/2}$ for $(+,+-)$ and $(-,+-)$, and (iii) $(1-q)^{1/2}$ for $(+,--)$ and $(-,++)$.

Based on numerical evidence from applying the algorithm in \cref{para-quiver-algorithm}, we conjecture that we have the generating series $\sum_{n = 0}\infty q{n/2} \cdot \mathrm{DT}{\mathrm{mot}_{\smash{(n,n)} (\tau)}$ equal to the three explicit cases described for the sign choices $(+,++)$ and $(-,--)$, $(+,+-)$ and $(-,+-)$, and $(+,--)$ and $(-,++)$. This example is related to coherent sheaves on~$\mathbb{P}1$, as we will discuss in \cref{eg-dt-p1}.
