Surjectivity conjecture for the hyperkähler Kirwan map

At least 24 years old · documented by

Let MM be a hyperkähler manifold with a hyperhamiltonian GG-action. The hyperkähler Kirwan map is the natural map

κHK:HG∗(M)→H∗(M/ ⁣/ ⁣/G).\kappa_{\mathrm{HK}}: H_G^\ast(M) \to H^\ast(M /\!/\!/ G).

Hyperkähler Kirwan surjectivity conjecture. The hyperkähler Kirwan map is surjective.

Kirwan surjectivity is well known for a large class of symplectic quotients, whereas the corresponding hyperkähler statement is less understood. The conjecture concerns whether every cohomology class of the hyperkähler quotient lifts from equivariant cohomology.
