Hausel's nonequivariant abelianization conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

Let GG be a group with maximal torus TT, Weyl group W=N(T)/TW=N(T)/T, and associated symplectic quotients Mα,0(G)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(G) and Mα,0(T)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(T). Let Φ0(G)\Phi_0(G) be the nonequivariant Kirwan map obtained from the equivariant Kirwan map by setting the equivariant parameter xx to zero, and let

e0=∏β∈Δβ∈Sym⁡t∗≅HT∗(T∗V),e_0=\prod_{\beta\in\Delta}\beta\in\operatorname{Sym}\mathfrak t^*\cong H_T^*(T^*V),

where Δ⊆t∗\Delta\subseteq\mathfrak t^* is the set of roots of GG and Ann⁡(e0)\operatorname{Ann}(e_0) denotes the ideal of classes annihilated by e0e_0. Hausel's nonequivariant abelianization conjecture. If Φ0(G)\Phi_0(G) is surjective, then there is a natural isomorphism

H∗(Mα,0(G))≅H∗(Mα,0(T))W/Ann⁡(e0).H^*(\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(G))\cong H^*(\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(T))^W\big/\operatorname{Ann}(e_0).

The equivariant analogue is conditional on surjectivity of the equivariant Kirwan map; this conjecture proposes the corresponding nonequivariant description of the cohomology ring.
