In 1964, at a conference in Woods Hole, Shimura conjectured a Lefschetz fixed point theorem for a holomorphic map, which Atiyah and Bott proved and generalized into a fixed point theorem for elliptic complexes. However, in Shimura's recollection, he had conjectured more than the holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point theorem. He said he had made a conjecture for a holomorphic correspondence, but he could not remember what it said nor did he have any notes. This talk is an exploration of Shimura's forgotten conjecture, first a proof for a smooth correspondence, and then a conjectural statement for a holomorphic correspondence.
