The orbifold elliptic genus conjecture for unramified finite group quotients

About 26 years old · traced to

Let XX be a complex manifold equipped with an effective action of a finite group GG. Write X/GX/G for the quotient, and let Ell^(X/G,;y,q)\widehat{Ell}(X/G,;y,q) denote the normalized elliptic genus of the quotient. The orbifold elliptic genus is denoted by Ellorb(X,G;y,q)Ell_{orb}(X,G;y,q), where zz and τ\tau are related to yy and qq in the usual way. Orbifold elliptic genus conjecture. Then

Ellorb(X,G;y,q)=(2πiθ(−z,τ)θ′(0,τ))dim⁡XEll^(X/G,;y,q).Ell_{orb}(X,G;y,q)=\left(\frac{2\pi {\rm i}\theta(-z,\tau)}{\theta'(0,\tau)}\right)^{{\rm \dim} X}\widehat{Ell}(X/G,;y,q).

This is proposed in the case where the quotient map X→X/GX\to X/G has no ramification. It asserts that the orbifold elliptic genus of the global quotient agrees, up to the displayed normalization factor, with the elliptic genus of the quotient singularity.
