Generalization of Reichstein–Youssin's fixed-point theorem

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let kk be the base field, let dd be a positive integer, and let GG be a finite group with subgroups H1,…,HrH_1,\dots,H_r. Write rdim⁡k(Hi)\operatorname{rdim}_k(H_i) for the representation dimension of HiH_i over kk.

Generalized fixed-point conjecture. If rdim⁡k(Hi)≤d\operatorname{rdim}_k(H_i)\leq d for all i=1,…,ri=1,\dots,r, then there exists a dd-dimensional kk-variety XX with a faithful GG-action and smooth kk-points x1,…,xr∈Xx_1,\dots,x_r\in X such that HiH_i fixes xix_i for each i=1,…,ri=1,\dots,r.

This is proposed as a generalization of Reichstein–Youssin's theorem on constructing varieties with prescribed subgroup-fixed smooth points. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
