Real Bredon cohomology comparison conjecture for algebraic groups

From papers

Let GG be an algebraic group over R\mathbb R, let

Γ=Gal(C/R),\Gamma=\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb C/\mathbb R),

and let pp be a prime number. Regard G(C)G(\mathbb C) as a Γ\Gamma-space and let G(C)topG(\mathbb C)^{\operatorname{top}} denote its topological realization, with the induced Γ\Gamma-action. Real Bredon cohomology comparison conjecture. The identity map

G(C)G(C)topG(\mathbb C)\longrightarrow G(\mathbb C)^{\operatorname{top}}

should induce an isomorphism

HΓ(BG(C)top;Z/p)HΓ(BG(C);Z/p).H^\bullet_\Gamma(BG(\mathbb C)^{\operatorname{top}};\underline{\mathbb Z/p})\longrightarrow H^\bullet_\Gamma(BG(\mathbb C);\underline{\mathbb Z/p}).

This is proposed as a comparison between the algebraic and topological models using equivariant Bredon cohomology. The source says that the preceding fixed-point criterion suggests this statement, but gives no resolution status.
