Conjecture on contragredient invariance for distinguished representations of complex reductive groups
Let be a real symmetric pair, where is a complex connected reductive group. Let be the involution defining , so that , and let be -distinguished, meaning that . Contragredient-twist conjecture. Then
The condition is necessary for -distinction but is not sufficient in general, as shown by complex symmetric pairs with non-distinguished representations satisfying the same isomorphism. The conjecture asserts necessity for all complex connected reductive groups.
