Kivinen's fixed-point and equivariant K-theory conjecture for symbolic varieties

About 1 year old · traced to

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a reductive Lie algebra with Weyl group WW, let CW\mathfrak{C}_W be the set of two-sided cells in WW, and let a:CW→N\mathbf{a}:\mathfrak{C}_W\to\mathbb{N} be Lusztig's function. Define A(λ)=a(w0λ)\mathbf{A}(\lambda)=\mathbf{a}(w_0\lambda), and let Xg,symbX_{\mathfrak{g},\mathrm{symb}} carry its natural (C∗)2(\mathbb{C}^*)^2-action. If δλ\delta_\lambda is the skyscraper sheaf at the fixed point corresponding to λ\lambda, then in K(C∗)20(Xg,symb)K^0_{(\mathbb{C}^*)^2}(X_{\mathfrak{g},\mathrm{symb}}) one can consider its twist by O(1)\mathcal{O}(1). Kivinen's fixed-point and equivariant K-theory conjecture. There is a bijection

Xg,symb(C∗)2↔CW,X_{\mathfrak{g},\mathrm{symb}}^{(\mathbb{C}^*)^2}\leftrightarrow\mathfrak{C}_W,

and

[δλ⊗O(1)]=qa(λ)tA(λ)[δλ].[\delta_\lambda\otimes\mathcal{O}(1)]=q^{\mathbf{a}(\lambda)}t^{\mathbf{A}(\lambda)}[\delta_\lambda].

The first part follows in type AA and is proved in types BB and CC in the appendix; the full conjecture remains open in general.
