Orbifold dimensional reduction conjecture for character stacks

Let MM be a Seifert-fibred 33-manifold, let GG be a semisimple group, and for n>0n>0 let Σorb,M[n]\Sigma_{\mathrm{orb},M}^{[n]} be the quotient of MM by the S1S^1-action composed with the nn-th multiplication map, with generic stabilizer Z/nZ\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}. Let ιn:LocG(Σorb,M[n])LocG(M)\iota_n:\mathcal{L}\mathrm{oc}_G(\Sigma_{\mathrm{orb},M}^{[n]})\to\mathcal{L}\mathrm{oc}_G(M) and ιˉn:LocG(Σorb,M[n])LocG(M)\bar\iota_n:\mathrm{Loc}_G(\Sigma_{\mathrm{orb},M}^{[n]})\to\mathrm{Loc}_G(M) be the induced maps. Orbifold dimensional reduction conjecture. (i) The character stack LocG(Σorb,M[n])\mathcal{L}\mathrm{oc}_G(\Sigma_{\mathrm{orb},M}^{[n]}) admits a canonical 00-shifted symplectic structure. (ii) The map ιn\iota_n admits a natural Lagrangian structure. (iii) For a sufficiently divisible NN as in the preceding corollary, there is a natural isomorphism

ιˉN,BPSLocG(Σorb,M[N])(0)BPSLocG(M)(0).\bar\iota_{N,*}\mathcal{BPS}_{\mathrm{Loc}_G(\Sigma_{\mathrm{orb},M}^{[N]})}^{(0)}\cong\mathcal{BPS}_{\mathrm{Loc}_G(M)}^{(0)}.

The conjecture is motivated by support containment for BPS sheaves on Seifert-fibred 33-manifolds; no resolution status is given in the supplied text.
