The equivariant Waldhausen A-theory derivative conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let \Gmr\Gmr be a finite group, and let B\GmrTop(1){\bf B}_{\Gmr}{\bf Top}^{(1)} denote the first layer of the equivariant Weiss functor B\GmrTop{\bf B}_{\Gmr}{\bf Top}. Suppose there exists an incomplete equivariant \Amr\Amr-theory functor A\Gmr′{\bf A}_{\Gmr}' with codomain Sp⁡(1)\Gmr\operatorname{\mathcal{S}p}^{\Gmr}_{(1)}. Equivariant Waldhausen A-theory derivative conjecture. The first derivative at the zero object satisfies

ΘB\GmrTop(1)(0)≃A\Gmr′(∗).{\bf \Theta} {\bf B}_{\Gmr}{\bf Top}^{(1)}({\bf 0})\simeq {\bf A}_{\Gmr}'(\ast).

This would identify the first derivative of the equivariant topological Weiss functor with an incomplete genuine equivariant Waldhausen AA-theory of a point, extending the classical nonequivariant calculation. The conjecture is presented as an expectation conditional on the existence of A\Gmr′{\bf A}_{\Gmr}', and no resolution is given.
