Naive localization formula for the index on the moduli stack

About 23 years old · traced to

Let GG be a rank-one compact Lie group with maximal torus TT, let M\mathfrak{M} be the moduli stack of GG-bundles, and let MT\mathfrak{M}_T be the corresponding moduli stack of TT-bundles. Let ν∗\nu^* be the equivariant KK-theory conormal bundle to the morphism MT→M\mathfrak{M}_T\to\mathfrak{M}, and let an admissible class mean a class for which the indicated indices are defined. The naive localization conjecture. The index of an admissible class over M\mathfrak{M} is one-half the index of its restriction to MT\mathfrak{M}_T, divided by the equivariant KK-theory Euler class of ν∗\nu^*:

Ind⁡M(E)=12 Ind⁡MT(E∣MT)Euler⁡K(ν∗).\operatorname{Ind}_{\mathfrak{M}}(E)=\frac{1}{2}\,\frac{\operatorname{Ind}_{\mathfrak{M}_T}(E|_{\mathfrak{M}_T})}{\operatorname{Euler}_{K}(\nu^*)}.

This is a conjectural localization formula relating the index on the nonabelian moduli stack to the torus moduli stack. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
