K-theoretic McKay pushforward conjecture for the Hilbert–Chow morphism

From papers

Let XX be a smooth projective scheme, let X(n)=Xn/SnX^{(n)}=X^n/\mathfrak{S}_n be its nnth symmetric product, and let

ρ:X[n]X(n)\rho:X^{[n]}\longrightarrow X^{(n)}

be the Hilbert–Chow morphism. K-theoretic McKay conjecture. The K-theoretical pushforward satisfies

ρOX[n]=OX(n)\rho_*\mathcal{O}_{X^{[n]}}=\mathcal{O}_{X^{(n)}}

in K0(X(n))K_0(X^{(n)}).

For smooth projective surfaces this follows from the cited results, while the higher-dimensional statement remains open. It predicts the expected structure-sheaf pushforward under the Hilbert–Chow resolution.
