Hausel's equivariant K-theory conjecture for fixed point schemes

Let G\mathrm G be a principally paired group acting regularly on a smooth projective variety XX. Define the fixed point scheme FixG(X)\operatorname{Fix}_{\mathrm G}(X) by the condition that its points are pairs (h,x)G×X(h,x)\in \mathrm G\times X with hx=xhx=x, and let G\mathrm G act on it by

g(h,x)=(ghg1,gx).g\cdot(h,x)=(ghg^{-1},gx).

The invariant-function ring C[FixG(X)]G\mathbb C[\operatorname{Fix}_{\mathrm G}(X)]^{\mathrm G} is an algebra over C[G]GKG0(pt)C\mathbb C[\mathrm G]^{\mathrm G}\cong K^0_{\mathrm G}(\operatorname{pt})\otimes\mathbb C, and it should be isomorphic to equivariant algebraic K-theory KG0(X)CK^0_{\mathrm G}(X)\otimes\mathbb C, compatibly with these structure maps:

\begin{tikzcd} \mathbb C[\operatorname{Fix}_{\mathrm G}(X)]^{\mathrm G} \arrow{r}{\cong} & K_{\mathrm G}^0(X)\otimes \mathbb C \\ \mathbb C[\mathrm G]^{\mathrm G} \arrow{r}{\cong} \arrow{u}& K_{\mathrm G}^0(\operatorname{pt})\otimes \mathbb C \arrow{u}. \end{tikzcd}

This conjecture proposes a fixed-point-scheme model for equivariant algebraic K-theory, extending the preceding analogy between equivariant cohomology and invariant functions on the Lie algebra. Its validity is not resolved in the supplied text; the paper states it as a conjecture based on an earlier theorem.
