Ruan's orbifold product conjecture for periodic cyclic homology

About 24 years old · traced to

Let X\mathcal{X} be a smooth Deligne--Mumford stack with an étale cover π:U→X\pi:U\to\mathcal{X} by a scheme, and set Z=U×XUZ=U\times_{\mathcal{X}}U. The correspondence Z×UZ→ZZ\times_UZ\to Z defines, for F,G∈Db(Z)\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}\in D^b(Z), the product

F∗G=m∗(p1∗F⊗p2∗G).\mathcal{F}*\mathcal{G}=m_*\bigl(p_1^*\mathcal{F}\otimes p_2^*\mathcal{G}\bigr).

When X=[X/G]\mathcal{X}=[X/G] and U=XU=X, one has Z=∐g∈GXgZ=\coprod_{g\in G}X^g. The orbifold product conjecture. The product (F,G)↦F∗G(\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G})\mapsto\mathcal{F}*\mathcal{G} induces the product on the periodic cyclic homology of ZZ, coinciding with the product on

A(X,G)=H∗(Z,C),A(X,G)=H^*(Z,\mathbb{C}),

and passing to GG-coinvariants or invariants gives the orbifold product on Horb⁡∗(X/G,C)H^*_{\operatorname{orb}}(X/G,\mathbb{C}). This proposed compatibility is intended to explain the orbifold product through the derived category and cyclic homology. The source uses expectation language and gives no resolution status.
