The pull-back conjecture for semi-free equivariant bordism

About 23 years old · traced to

Let Ω∗U,S1\Omega^{U,S^1}_* be the geometric equivariant bordism ring, let MU∗S1MU^{S^1}_* be equivariant complex bordism, and write

F∗=MU∗[eV−1,Zn,V],Φ∗=MU∗[eV±1,Zn,V],F_* = MU_*[e_V^{-1},Z_{n,V}],\qquad \Phi_* = MU_*[e_V^{\pm 1},Z_{n,V}],

with VV ranging over irreducible representations. The natural maps form a commutative square.

Pull-back conjecture. The square

Ω∗U,S1→F∗↓↓MU∗S1→Φ∗\begin{CD} \Omega^{U,S^1}_* @>>> F_* \\ @VVV @VVV \\ MU^{S^1}_* @>>> \Phi_* \end{CD}

is a pull-back.

This would give a framework for determining geometric equivariant bordism inside the known homotopical theory. The source describes it as approachable through the families filtration, but provides no resolution.
