Physical rigidity conjecture for Kloosterman sheaves

Let kk be the finite base field, let Gˇ\check{G} be the dual group, and let KlGˇ(ϕ,χ)\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}}(\phi,\chi) be the Kloosterman sheaf associated with a generic linear function ϕ\phi and a multiplicative character χ\chi. Let k\overline{k} be an algebraic closure and set U=P\{0,}1kkU={\mathbb P}^1_{\backslash\{0,\infty\}}\otimes_k\overline{k}. Let LL be a Gˇ\check{G}-local system on UU, and let I0\mathscr I_0 and I\mathscr I_\infty denote the inertia groups at 00 and \infty. Physical rigidity conjecture. If the I0\mathscr I_0- and I\mathscr I_\infty-representations on LL have the same isomorphism types as those on KlGˇ(ϕ,χ)\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}}(\phi,\chi), then

LKlGˇ(ϕ,χ)L\cong\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}}(\phi,\chi)

over UU. This generalizes the known rigidity phenomenon for the classical GLn\operatorname{GL}_n Kloosterman sheaves.
