Conjecture on contragredient invariance for distinguished representations of complex reductive groups

From papers

Let (G,H)(G,H) be a real symmetric pair, where GG is a complex connected reductive group. Let θ\theta be the involution defining HH, so that H=GθH=G^{\theta}, and let πSAFIrr(G)\pi\in\mathcal{SAF}_{\mathrm{Irr}}(G) be HH-distinguished, meaning that (π)H0(\pi^{*})^{H}\neq 0. Contragredient-twist conjecture. Then

π~πθ.\widetilde{\pi}\simeq\pi^{\theta}.

The condition is necessary for HH-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.
