Abstract

The integral identity conjecture of Kontsevich and Soibelman plays an important role in proving the existence of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants for three-dimensional noncommutative Calabi-Yau manifolds. There are a number of different formulations of this conjecture in different contexts, and accordingly, there are corresponding solutions to them. The methods devoted to solving this conjecture are diverse, ranging from $\ell $-adic cohomology of rigid analytic varieties to Hrushovski-Kazhdan motivic integration and motivic Fubini theorem for tropicalization maps,... In [Ivo24], Ivorra deduces a functorial version of the integral identity in the motivic stable homotopy categories of schemes, from the Braden hyperbolic localization theorem. This functorial version concerns Ayoub’s nearby cycles functor associated with a $\mathbb {G}_m$-equivariant function $f \colon \mathbb {V}(\mathcal {E}) \longrightarrow \mathbb {A}^1$ on a vector bundle $\mathbb {V}(\mathcal {E})$ over a field of characteristic zero. In the present work, we follow the functorial approach from [Ivo24] and extend the scope of the original conjecture by Kontsevich and Soibelman by studying more generally the case of $\mathbb {G}_m$-equivariant functions on algebraic S-spaces with a $\tau $-locally linearizable action of $\mathbb {G}_m$ over a noetherian base scheme S.
