Finite-type conjecture for symmetric powers of Rep(C_2)-complexes

Let G=C2G=C_2. A Rep(C2)\operatorname{Rep}(C_2)-complex is a C2C_2-space built by attaching cells of the form D(Rp,q)D(\mathbf R^{p,q}), where pq0p\geq q\geq0; it is of finite type if, for each n0n\geq0, it has finitely many cells with pq=np-q=n. Finite-type conjecture. The symmetric powers of a Rep(C2)\operatorname{Rep}(C_2)-complex are Rep(C2)\operatorname{Rep}(C_2)-complexes. Moreover, if the original complex is of finite type, then all of its symmetric products are of finite type. In particular, the equivariant Eilenberg--MacLane spaces K(Z,V)K(\underline{\mathbf Z},V) are Rep(C2)\operatorname{Rep}(C_2)-complexes of finite type. The conjecture concerns the cellular structure of symmetric powers and, in particular, the finite-type structure of these equivariant Eilenberg--MacLane spaces; the preceding context relates it to freeness results for Bredon cohomology of finite-type Rep(C2)\operatorname{Rep}(C_2)-complexes.
