The 2-primary hermitian K-theory comparison conjecture

Let SS be a scheme with residue fields k(s)k(s), let vcd2\mathrm{vcd}_{2} denote 2-cohomological virtual dimension, and let σ\sigma be the comparison map from algebraic to étale hermitian KK-theory with coefficients Z/2ν\mathbb{Z}/2^{\nu}. The 2-primary comparison conjecture. With the coefficient group Z/2ν\mathbb{Z}/2^{\nu}, the map σ\sigma is bijective whenever

nsup{vcd2(k(s))1}sS.n\geq\sup\{\mathrm{vcd}_{2}(k(s))-1\}_{s\in S}.

The preceding theorem proves étale descent after inverting the Bott element and gives split surjectivity in a larger range; the conjecture predicts bijectivity in the sharper stated range.
