Global functional equation conjecture for dualizing sheaves on singular curves

About 3 years old · traced to

Assume (∗)(*), let XX be a projective curve of arithmetic genus gag_a, let d≥0d\geq 0, and let ωX\omega_X be a dualizing sheaf. Set

E:=ωX⊕d.\mathcal{E}:=\omega_X^{\oplus d}.

Global functional equation conjecture. As rational functions in tt,

ZE(t)=(Ld2t2d)ga−1ZE(L−dt−1)∈K0(Var⁡k)(t).Z_{\mathcal{E}}(t)=(\mathbb{L}^{d^2}t^{2d})^{g_a-1}Z_{\mathcal{E}}(\mathbb{L}^{-d}t^{-1})\in K_0(\operatorname{Var}_k)(t).

This is the global counterpart of the local functional equation and is part of the proposed extension from planar to Gorenstein singularities. No resolution is stated in the source.
