Vafa–Witten's L2L^2 harmonic form dimension conjecture for instanton moduli spaces

Let Mϕk,c1M^{k,c_1}_\phi be the smooth completion of the moduli space of U(n){\rm U}(n) Yang--Mills instantons of first Chern class c1c_1, energy kk, and framing ϕ\phi on a four-dimensional Kronheimer ALE space. Write \Had(Mϕk,c1)\Ha^d(M^{k,c_1}_\phi) for its space of L2L^2 harmonic dd-forms, and let midmid be half the dimension of Mϕk,c1M^{k,c_1}_\phi. Vafa--Witten's conjecture.

dim(\Had(Mϕk,c1))={0dmiddim(im(Hcptmid(Mϕk,c1)Hmid(Mϕk,c1)))d=mid.\dim\left(\Ha^{d}(M^{k,c_1}_\phi)\right)=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & d\neq mid\\ \dim\left({\rm im}(H_{cpt}^{mid}(M^{k,c_1}_\phi)\rightarrow H^{mid}(M^{k,c_1}_\phi))\right) & d=mid\end{array} \right..

The conjecture is another prediction of SS-duality, now for instanton moduli spaces on ALE manifolds. The supplied text gives no resolution, so its status is open.
