Compatibility of characteristic cycles with proper push-forward

About 10 years old · traced to

Let f ⁣:X→Yf\colon X\to Y be a morphism of smooth schemes over a perfect field kk. Assume that every irreducible component of XX has dimension nn, and every irreducible component of YY has dimension mm. Let F{\cal F} be a constructible complex on XX, with singular support C=SSF⊂T∗XC=SS{\cal F}\subset T^*X, and assume that ff is proper on the support of F{\cal F}. Write f∘C⊂T∗Yf_\circ C\subset T^*Y for the image of df−1(C)df^{-1}(C) under the canonical correspondence.

Characteristic-cycle push-forward conjecture. We have

CCRf∗F=f∗CCFCCRf_*{\cal F}=f_*CC{\cal F}

in CHm(f∘C)CH_m(f_\circ C). In particular, if every irreducible component of f∘Cf_\circ C has dimension mm, the corresponding equality holds as cycles.

This predicts that the characteristic-cycle operation CCRf∗FCCRf_*{\cal F} agrees with the direct image of the characteristic cycle under the cotangent correspondence. The supplied text does not indicate whether the assertion has been proved or remains open.
