The generalized projective Euler characteristic conjecture for finite groups

Let d1d\geq 1. For a finite group GG, write Cl(Z[G]){\rm Cl}({\bf Z}[G]) for the class group of the integral group ring. Let YY be projective and flat of relative dimension dd, let XYX\to Y be a GG-torsor, and let F{\mathcal F} be a GG-equivariant coherent sheaf on XX. Denote by χˉP(F)\bar\chi^P({\mathcal F}) its projective Euler characteristic in Cl(Z[G]){\rm Cl}({\bf Z}[G]).

Generalized projective Euler characteristic conjecture. There exists an integer Q(d)Q(d) such that, whenever GG is finite and gcd(#G,Q(d))=1{\rm \gcd}(\#G,Q(d))=1, one has

χˉP(F)=0in Cl(Z[G])\bar\chi^P({\mathcal F})=0\quad\text{in }{\rm Cl}({\bf Z}[G])

for every such GG-torsor and every GG-equivariant coherent sheaf F{\mathcal F} on XX. This extends the paper's vanishing results beyond the abelian or restricted Sylow-subgroup cases and remains open in the stated generality.
