The equivariant topological modular forms refinement conjecture for Mathieu Moonshine

Let νTMF3(pt)\nu\in\mathrm{TMF}^{-3}(\mathrm{pt}) be the class corresponding to [Fer(3)][\overline{\operatorname{Fer}(3)}], let {24Δ}TMF24(pt)\{24\Delta\}\in\mathrm{TMF}^{-24}(\mathrm{pt}) be the class corresponding to [Vf][\overline{V^{f\natural}}], and let ω\omega be the relevant M24\mathrm M_{24}-equivariant anomaly. Let M24Co1\mathrm M_{24}\subset\mathrm{Co}_1. Equivariant TMF refinement conjecture. There is a distinguished refinement

{24Δ}TMF24(pt)\{24\Delta\}\in\mathrm{TMF}^{-24}(\mathrm{pt})

to a class in TMFω24(BCo1)\mathrm{TMF}^{-24}_{\omega}(\mathbb B\mathrm{Co}_1) such that, after multiplication by ν\nu and restriction to M24\mathrm M_{24},

{24Δ}ν=0in TMFω27(BM24).\{24\Delta\}\nu=0\quad\text{in }\mathrm{TMF}^{-27}_{\omega}(\mathbb B\mathrm M_{24}).

This is the TMF formulation of the proposed SCFT nullhomotopy. The required equivariant refinement has not been established rigorously, and the paper explicitly says it is not expected to vanish Co1\mathrm{Co}_1-equivariantly.
