description An enumerative invariant theory in algebraic geometry, differential geometry, or representation theory, is the study of invariants which "count" -(semi)stable objects with fixed topological invariants ⟦⟧ = α in some geometric problem, by means of a virtual class [ℳˢˢα()]ᵥᵢᵣₜ in some homology theory for the moduli spaces ℳˢᵗα() ⊆ ℳˢˢα() of -(semi)stable objects. Examples include Mochizuki's invariants counting coherent sheaves on surfaces, Donaldson-Thomas type invariants counting coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3- and 4-folds and Fano 3-folds, and Donaldson invariants of 4-manifolds. We make conjectures on new universal structures common to many enumerative invariant theories. Any such theory has two moduli spaces ℳ, ℳᵖˡ, where the second author (see https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/hall.pdf) gives ∗(ℳ) the structure of a graded vertex algebra, and ∗(ℳᵖˡ) a graded Lie algebra, closely related to ∗(ℳ). The virtual classes [ℳˢˢα()]ᵥᵢᵣₜ take values in ∗(ℳᵖˡ). In most such theories, defining [ℳˢˢα()]ᵥᵢᵣₜ when ℳˢᵗα() ≠ ℳssα() (in gauge theory, when the moduli space contains reducibles) is a difficult problem. We conjecture that there is a natural way to define invariants [ℳˢˢα()]ᵢₙᵥ in homology over Q, with [ℳˢˢα()]ᵢₙᵥ = [ℳˢˢα()]ᵥᵢᵣₜ when ℳˢᵗα() = ℳˢˢα(), and that these invariants satisfy a universal wall-crossing formula under change of stability condition , written using the Lie bracket on ∗(ℳᵖˡ). We prove our conjectures for moduli spaces of representations of quivers without oriented cycles. Versions of our conjectures in algebraic geometry using Behrend-Fantechi virtual classes are proved in the sequel [arXiv:2111.04694].
