Equivariant multiplicities and torsion at attractive fixed points
Abstract
Let X be a rationally smooth complex affine variety with a torus action and an attractive fixed point x. Suppose that X∖{x} is p-smooth and that its integral equivariant cohomology has no p-torsion. We prove that the order of its total p-primary cohomology torsion is the p-part of the reduced numerator of the equivariant multiplicity at x. In particular, this resolves the torsion-order conjecture of Juteau--Williamson and its local version for normal slices in Schubert varieties, using the equivariant torsion-freeness result of Fiebig--Williamson.
