The quantum K-theoretic abelian/non-abelian correspondence conjecture

Let V//GV//G be a GIT quotient satisfying the source's mild hypotheses, including that the GG-unstable locus has codimension two. Let TGT_G be a maximal torus of GG, let WW be its Weyl group, and let QKtw(V//TG)QK^{tw}(V//T_G) denote the twisted quantum KK-ring of the abelianization. The twisting is determined by rEuλr(Lr)\prod_rEu_{\lambda_r}(L_r), where EuλrEu_{\lambda_r} is the C\mathbb{C}^*-equivariant Euler class for fiber scaling on LrL_r, with λrλr=1\lambda_r\lambda_{-r}=1 and wλr=λwrw\lambda_r=\lambda_{wr}. The quantum abelian/non-abelian correspondence conjecture. The map ϕQ\phi_Q is a surjective ring homomorphism

ϕQ:QKtw(V//TG)WQK(V//G),\phi_Q:QK^{tw}(V//T_G)^W\twoheadrightarrow QK(V//G),

and it preserves quantum pairings:

1W((a,b))tw=((ϕQ(a),ϕQ(b))).\frac{1}{|W|}((a,b))^{tw}=((\phi_Q(a),\phi_Q(b))).

This is proposed as a quantum KK-theoretic generalization of the classical abelian/non-abelian correspondence; the source uses it to relate flag varieties to their abelianizations.
