Steenrod-operation polynomiality conjecture for H(Krσ+s)H^{\star}(K_{r\sigma+s})

Let Krσ+sK_{r\sigma+s} be a C2C_2-equivariant Eilenberg–Mac Lane space with fundamental class ιrσ+s\iota_{r\sigma+s}. Let SqC2ISq_{C_2}^{I} denote a C2C_2-equivariant Steenrod operation, let e(I)e(I) be the degree associated to the multi-index II, and let uu denote the relevant coefficient-class element. For representations VV and VV', write V<VV<V' when V=V+WV'=V+W for an actual representation WW of positive degree.

Steenrod-operation polynomiality conjecture. H(Krσ+s)H^{\star}(K_{r\sigma+s}) is a polynomial algebra on certain classes

SqC2I(ιrσ+s)ucertain powers\frac{Sq_{C_2}^{I}(\iota_{r\sigma+s})}{u^{\text{certain powers}}}

where e(I)<rσ+se(I)<r\sigma+s.

The conjecture proposes a uniform description of the RO(C2)RO(C_2)-graded cohomology of equivariant Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces in terms of equivariant Steenrod operations. The source states no proof or resolution; the precise powers of uu and the full choice of operations are left unspecified.
