Guillemin–Ginzburg–Karshon's conjecture on equivariant cohomology Chern numbers
Let be a torus, and let denote the equivariant geometric unitary bordism ring of closed unitary -manifolds. An integral equivariant cohomology Chern number is a characteristic number obtained by integrating an integral equivariant cohomology Chern class over an equivariant bordism class.
Guillemin–Ginzburg–Karshon's conjecture. An element is zero if and only if all integral equivariant cohomology Chern numbers of vanish.
This conjecture removes the isolated-fixed-point hypothesis from their partial result, which established the equivalence for closed unitary -manifolds with only isolated fixed points. It asks whether these characteristic numbers form a complete system of invariants for equivariant geometric unitary bordism when is a torus.
