Arthur-parameter conjecture for Whittaker-Fourier coefficients

Let GG be a reductive group, let ρN\rho_N be a fixed Whittaker datum, and let ρN\rho_N-generic cuspidal representations be measured by their Whittaker-Fourier coefficients. For an elliptic Arthur parameter ρ\rho of Ramanujan type, let ρρN(ρ)\rho^{\rho_N}(\rho) denote the associated irreducible generic cuspidal representation, and let §ρ\S_\rho be its Arthur component group.

Arthur-parameter conjecture. For every elliptic Arthur parameter ρ\rho of Ramanujan type,

cρρN(ρ)ρN=Sρ.c_{\rho^{\rho_N}(\rho)}^{\rho_N}=|S_\rho|.

This predicts that the relevant Whittaker-Fourier coefficient is governed by the size of Arthur's component group. It relies on the conjectural decomposition into Arthur-parameter spaces and remains open in the general number-field setting.
