Desingularization conjecture for orbifold Euler characteristics of quotients
Let be a finite group, or more generally a linear algebraic group, acting on a variety , and let be the quotient. A -variety is a variety with a -action, and a proper -morphism is a proper morphism compatible with the -actions. Let be a -variety and let be a proper -morphism. The conjecture concerns the equivariant pushforward , the equivariant Chern class transformation , and the constructible functions and associated with the quotient and orbifold theories. Desingularization conjecture for orbifold Euler characteristics. There exists such a -variety and proper -morphism satisfying
Consequently,
and the zeroth degrees satisfy
The conjecture proposes that the orbifold invariants of a quotient can be realized through a suitable equivariant desingularization. The source gives no resolution status or further conditions on the construction of and , so the claim is recorded as open.
