Conjecture on Beilinson and Cheeger–Chern classes of universal flat bundles
Conjecture on Beilinson and Cheeger–Chern classes of universal flat bundles
Let be the simplicial classifying space of the discrete group , and let and be, respectively, the Beilinson and modified universal Chern classes in
Beilinson–Cheeger–Chern class conjecture. For all and ,
If true, this would identify the universal Beilinson Chern class for flat bundles with the modified Cheeger–Chern class and, together with the preceding theorem, imply that it is represented by half the Borel regulator element. The statement is presented as conjectural because the authors were unable to prove the relevant simplicial analogue.
