Kobayashi's associated-variety conjecture for discretely decomposable restrictions

About 12 years old · traced to

Let GG be a real reductive group, let G′G' be a reductive subgroup, and choose a maximal compact subgroup KK of GG such that K′=G′∩KK'=G'\cap K is a maximal compact subgroup of G′G'. For a finite-length g\mathfrak{g}-module XX, write VgC(X)⊆gC∗\mathcal{V}_{\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb C}}(X)\subseteq\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb C}^* for its associated variety, and similarly write VgC′(Y)⊆(gC′)∗\mathcal{V}_{\mathfrak{g}'_{\mathbb C}}(Y)\subseteq(\mathfrak{g}'_{\mathbb C})^* for a finite-length g′\mathfrak{g}'-module YY. Let pr⁡g→g′:gC∗→(gC′)∗\operatorname{pr}_{\mathfrak{g}\to\mathfrak{g}'}:\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb C}^*\to(\mathfrak{g}'_{\mathbb C})^* be the restriction map dual to the embedding gC′→gC\mathfrak{g}'_{\mathbb C}\to\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb C}. Kobayashi's conjecture. If XX is an irreducible unitarizable (g,K)(\mathfrak{g},K)-module and YY is an irreducible (g′,K′)(\mathfrak{g}',K')-module with Hom⁡g′(Y,X)≠0\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathfrak{g}'}(Y,X)\neq0, then

pr⁡g→g′(VgC(X))=VgC′(Y).\operatorname{pr}_{\mathfrak{g}\to\mathfrak{g}'}\bigl(\mathcal{V}_{\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb C}}(X)\bigr)=\mathcal{V}_{\mathfrak{g}'_{\mathbb C}}(Y).

The conjecture predicts that the associated variety of every irreducible constituent occurring in the restriction of an irreducible unitarizable representation is obtained by projecting the associated variety of the original representation. The paper confirms it for all discretely decomposable restrictions of minimal holomorphic representations to symmetric subgroups, while the general statement remains open.
