Inductive construction conjecture for discrete series of metaplectic and quaternionic orthogonal groups

Let Ap,q(k)A_{p,q}(k) denote a middle-dimensional cohomologically induced representation associated with a Levi subgroup U~(p,q)\widetilde{U}(p,q) of Mp2n(R)Mp_{2n}(\mathbb R) or with a Levi subgroup U(p,q)U(p,q) of O(2n)O^*(2n). Let Hσ\mathcal H_\sigma be the Hilbert space of a discrete series representation σ\sigma of the corresponding smaller group. Inductive construction conjecture. Every discrete series representation of Mp2n(R)Mp_{2n}(\mathbb R) can be constructed inductively by an invariant tensor product

HσMp2n2(R)Ap,q(k)\mathcal H_\sigma\otimes_{Mp_{2n-2}(\mathbb R)}A_{p,q}(k)^\infty

for some k,p,qk,p,q with p+q=2n1p+q=2n-1, where σ\sigma is a discrete series representation of Mp2n2(R)Mp_{2n-2}(\mathbb R). Likewise, every discrete series representation of O(2n)O^*(2n) can be constructed inductively by

HσO(2n2)Ap,q(k)\mathcal H_\sigma\otimes_{O^*(2n-2)}A_{p,q}(k)^\infty

for some k,p,qk,p,q with p+q=2n1p+q=2n-1, where σ\sigma is a discrete series representation of O(2n2)O^*(2n-2). This is proposed as an extension of the proved inductive construction for U(p,q)U(p,q); the paper does not establish these assertions.
