Higher-twisting Verlinde index formula

Let GG be a compact Lie group, let M\mathfrak{M} be the moduli stack of GG-bundles over a genus-gg surface, let τ0\tau_0 and σ\sigma be the twistings appearing in the index construction, and let α(V)\alpha(V) be the index bundle associated to a representation VV of GG. For fFreg/Wf\in F^{reg}/W, let θf(t)\theta_f(t) denote the structure constants of the Frobenius algebra τKGdimG(G)C[[t]]{}^\tau K_G^{\dim G}(G)\otimes\mathbb{C}[[t]] over C[[t]]\mathbb{C}[[t]]. The higher-twisting conjecture.

Ind(M;O(τ0σ)exp[tα(V)])=fFreg/Wθf(t)1g.\operatorname{Ind}\left(\mathfrak{M};\mathcal{O}(\tau_0-\sigma)\otimes\exp[t\alpha(V)]\right)=\sum_{f\in F^{reg}/W}\theta_f(t)^{1-g}.

This is the proposed extension of the index formula to higher twistings, expressing the index as a sum of powers of Frobenius-algebra structure constants. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
