The differential equivariant K-theory pushforward conjecture

Let XX be a compact odd-dimensional Riemannian spin Γ\Gamma-manifold, let VV be a Γ\Gamma-equivariant vector bundle with invariant compatibly unitary connection V\nabla^V, and let DVD_V be the Dirac operator on the twisted spinor bundle SXVS_X\otimes V. Let xˇKˇΓ0(X)\check{x}\in \check{K}^0_\Gamma(X) be the differential equivariant KK-theory class represented by (V,V,0)(V,\nabla^V,0). The pushforward satisfies

Γ(xˇ)=ξΓ(DV)\wp_\Gamma\left(\check{x}\right)=\xi_\Gamma(D_V)

Differential equivariant pushforward conjecture. The equality holds as class functions modulo R(Γ)R(\Gamma). This conjectures that the index-theoretic description of the ordinary equivariant KK-theory pushforward extends to differential equivariant KK-theory, identifying the pushforward with the reduced equivariant eta invariant. It has been proved in certain special cases.
