Witten's localization formula for reductions at regular co-adjoint orbits
For each , , let , and let denote the generalized-function limit of as . Let be the reduction at the regular co-adjoint orbit , and let be the Chern–Weil homomorphism associated to the principal fibration . For a test function , Witten conjectured that
This formula is intended to express the contribution from the reduced space in the Jeffrey–Kirwan–Witten localization framework, relating equivariant integration to the Chern–Weil image on the symplectic reduction. The supplied text identifies it as Witten's conjecture but gives no resolution status.
