Conjecture on maximal Fourier coefficients of automorphic packets for symplectic groups

Let ψΨ~2(Sp2n)\psi\in\widetilde{\Psi}_2(\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}), and let Π~ψ(ϵψ)\widetilde{\Pi}_{\psi}(\epsilon_\psi) be the automorphic L2L^2-packet attached to ψ\psi. Write p(ψ)\underline{p}(\psi) for the partition attached to the global Arthur parameter, and let pm(π)\frak{p}^m(\pi) denote the set of partitions associated with Fourier coefficients of π\pi. Let ηg,g\eta_{\mathfrak{g}^\vee,\mathfrak{g}} be the Barbasch–Vogan duality map from partitions for so2n+1(C)\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1}(\mathbb{C}) to partitions for sp2n(C)\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{C}). A symplectic partition is a partition of 2n2n satisfying the symplectic condition.

Conjecture 4.2. For every ψΨ~2(Sp2n)\psi\in\widetilde{\Psi}_2(\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}):

  1. Any symplectic partition p\underline{p} of 2n2n with p>ηg,g(p(ψ))\underline{p}>\eta_{\mathfrak{g}^\vee,\mathfrak{g}}(\underline{p}(\psi)) does not belong to pm(π)\frak{p}^m(\pi) for any πΠ~ψ(ϵψ)\pi\in\widetilde{\Pi}_{\psi}(\epsilon_\psi).
  2. For every πΠ~ψ(ϵψ)\pi\in\widetilde{\Pi}_{\psi}(\epsilon_\psi), every partition ppm(π)\underline{p}\in\frak{p}^m(\pi) satisfies pηg,g(p(ψ))\underline{p}\leq\eta_{\mathfrak{g}^\vee,\mathfrak{g}}(\underline{p}(\psi)).
  3. There exists at least one πΠ~ψ(ϵψ)\pi\in\widetilde{\Pi}_{\psi}(\epsilon_\psi) such that ηg,g(p(ψ))pm(π)\eta_{\mathfrak{g}^\vee,\mathfrak{g}}(\underline{p}(\psi))\in\frak{p}^m(\pi).

The conjecture predicts that the Barbasch–Vogan dual of the Arthur-parameter partition gives the precise maximal partition governing Fourier coefficients across the packet. Its status is not resolved by the supplied source context.
