The singular reduction conjecture for Hamiltonian circle actions

Let XX be a Liouville manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian S1S^1 action such that the fixed locus XS1X^{S^1} has codimension four and there are no finite non-trivial stabiliser groups. Let μ:XR\mu:X\to\mathbb{R} be the moment map, let aRa\in\mathbb{R} be a singular value in the interior of Imμ\operatorname{Im}\mu, and let UU be the smooth locus in μ1(a)\mu^{-1}(a). Singular reduction conjecture. There is a quasi-equivalence

WS1(X)eaW(U/S1).\mathcal{W}_{S^1}(X)_{-e^a}\cong\mathcal{W}(U/S^1).

This proposes that at singular moment-map values the relevant equivariant Fukaya category is governed by the quotient of the smooth part of the singular fibre, rather than by ordinary symplectic reduction. The source presents this as a general conclusion under the stated codimension and stabiliser assumptions.
