Hausel's K-theoretic 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 pullback of the diagonal map XX×XX\to X\times X along the map G×XX×X\mathrm G\times X\to X\times X, (g,x)(gx,x)(g,x)\mapsto (gx,x). Let G\mathrm G act on FixG(X)\operatorname{Fix}_{\mathrm G}(X) by

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

Hausel's K-theoretic conjecture. The ring of invariant functions is, as an algebra over C[G]GKG0(pt)C\mathbb C[\mathrm G]^{\mathrm G}\cong K^0_{\mathrm G}(\operatorname{pt})\otimes\mathbb C, isomorphic to equivariant algebraic K-theory:

C[FixG(X)]GKG0(X)C.\mathbb C[\operatorname{Fix}_{\mathrm G}(X)]^{\mathrm G}\cong K^0_{\mathrm G}(X)\otimes\mathbb C.

Equivalently, this isomorphism should fit into the natural commutative diagram with the corresponding isomorphism C[G]GKG0(pt)C\mathbb C[\mathrm G]^{\mathrm G}\cong K^0_{\mathrm G}(\operatorname{pt})\otimes\mathbb C. The conjecture proposes a fixed-point-scheme realization of equivariant algebraic K-theory, extending the preceding realization of equivariant cohomology by zero schemes; its resolution is not given in the source.
