Equivariant model conjecture for finite regular covers

Let XX be a connected CW-complex, and let YXY\to X be a finite regular cover with deck group Φ\Phi. Suppose that YY has finite Betti numbers. Let AA be a Φ\Phi-commutative differential graded algebra, and assume there is a zigzag of quasi-isomorphisms connecting the polynomial forms model

APL(Y)QkA_{\scriptscriptstyle{{\rm PL}}}(Y)\otimes_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathbb{k}

to AA in commutative differential graded algebras, such that the induced isomorphism

H(Y,k)H(A)H^*(Y,\mathbb{k})\cong H^*(A)

is Φ\Phi-equivariant.

Equivariant model conjecture. The fixed subalgebra AΦA^{\Phi} is a model for XX.

This conjecture seeks to recover a model for an orbit space from an equivariant model of its finite cover. The source gives no resolution status; the preceding proposition shows a related assertion under the stronger hypothesis of a zigzag of equivariant qq-equivalences.
