Strong rigidity characterization conjecture for Kloosterman sheaves

Let kk be the finite base field, let Gˇ\check{G} be the dual group with maximal torus Tˇ\check{T}, let TT be the corresponding torus, and let U=P\{0,}1U={\mathbb P}^1_{\backslash\{0,\infty\}}. Suppose LL is a Gˇ\check{G}-local system on UU such that LL is tame at 00, the semisimple part of a topological generator of tame inertia at 00 is conjugate to an element of Tˇ[q1]\check{T}[q-1] corresponding to a multiplicative character χ:T(k)Q×\chi:T(k)\to\overline{{\mathbb Q}}_\ell^\times, and

Swan(LAd)=r,(LAd)I=0.\operatorname{Swan}_\infty(L^{\operatorname{Ad}})=r,\qquad (L^{\operatorname{Ad}})^{\mathscr I_\infty}=0.

Strong rigidity characterization conjecture. There exists a generic linear function ϕ:I(1)/I(2)Ga\phi:I(1)/I(2)\to{\mathbb G}_a such that LKlGˇ(ϕ,χ)L\cong\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}}(\phi,\chi) up to an unramified twist given by a homomorphism Gal(k/k)ZGˇ\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{k}/k)\to Z\check{G}. This would characterize Kloosterman sheaves from their local ramification data, up to the stated central twist.
