Relative equivariant covering type equality

Let XX be a GG-CW complex with non-empty fixed-point set XGX^G. Define the relative strict GG-covering type of the pair (X,XG)(X,X^G) by

sctG(X,XG)=sct(XXG).{\rm sct}_G(X,X^G)={\rm sct}(X\setminus X^G).

Relative covering type conjecture.

sctG(X,XG)+ct(XG)=ctG(X).{\rm sct}_G(X,X^G)+{\rm ct}(X^G)={\rm ct}_G(X).

The preceding inequality sctG(X,XG)+ct(XG)ctG(X){\rm sct}_G(X,X^G)+{\rm ct}(X^G)\leq {\rm ct}_G(X) is known; the conjecture asserts that equality always holds.
