Local functional equation conjecture for dualizing modules of singularities

Assume ()(*). Let RR be the local ring under consideration, let d0d\geq 0, and let Ω\Omega be its dualizing module. Set

E:=Ωd.E:=\Omega^{\oplus d}.

Local functional equation conjecture. As rational functions in tt,

NZE(t)=(Ld2t2d)δNZE(Ldt1)K0(Vark)(t).\mathit{NZ}_E(t)=(\mathbb{L}^{d^2}t^{2d})^{\delta}\mathit{NZ}_E(\mathbb{L}^{-d}t^{-1})\in K_0(\operatorname{Var}_k)(t).

The conjecture gives a local formulation of the functional equation beyond the planar case; the source notes that the Gorenstein condition suffices for the broader setting. Its status is not resolved there.
