MacPherson's conjecture on the birational invariance of L2L^2 arithmetic genus

Let XX be a reduced, paracompact Hermitian compact complex space, meaning that its regular part XSingXX-\operatorname{Sing}X carries a locally induced Hermitian metric. Define

χ(2)(XSingX):=q(1)qdimH(2)0,q(XSingX).\chi_{(2)}(X-\operatorname{Sing}X):=\sum_q(-1)^q\dim H^{0,q}_{(2)}(X-\operatorname{Sing}X).

Let π:MX\pi:M\to X be any resolution of singularities, and write χ(M)=q(1)qdimH0,q(M)\chi(M)=\sum_q(-1)^q\dim H^{0,q}(M).

MacPherson's conjecture.

χ(2)(XSingX)=χ(M).\chi_{(2)}(X-\operatorname{Sing}X)=\chi(M).

This proposes an extension of the birational invariance of the arithmetic genus from compact complex manifolds to Hermitian compact complex spaces. The source does not state a resolution status.
