Ando's equivariant Witten genus conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

Let XX be a compact, differentiable, GG-equivariant spin manifold of dimension 24d24d. Assume that p12(X)=0\frac{p_1}{2}(X)=0 and that

(p12)G(X)=π∗(α),\left(\frac{p_1}{2}\right)_G(X)=\pi^*(\alpha),

where π\pi is the map from XX to a point and α∈H4(BG;Z)\alpha\in H^4(BG;\mathbb Z). Ando's conjecture. The equivariant Witten genus of XX is a generalized Thompson series whose transformation behavior under SL⁡2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z) makes it a section of L−α\mathcal L^{-\alpha}. The conjecture extends the equivariant Witten-genus framework to a nonzero anomaly class α\alpha; the supplied text attributes it to Matthew Ando and gives no resolution status.
