Vanishing conjecture for Whittaker inner integrals on GLnGL_n

Let FF be a number field, A{\bf A} its ring of adeles, and let π1,,πl\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_l be automorphic representations of GLn(A)GL_n({\bf A}), with vectors φi\varphi_i in their spaces. Let UnU_n be the maximal unipotent subgroup of GLnGL_n, and let ψU\psi_U be a Whittaker character of Un(F)\Un(A)U_n(F)\backslash U_n({\bf A}). Define

J=Un(F)\Un(A)φ1(u)φ2(u)φl(u)ψU(u)du.J=\int\limits_{U_n(F)\backslash U_n({\bf A})}\varphi_1(u)\varphi_2(u)\ldots\varphi_l(u)\psi_U(u)\,du.

The associated dimension equation is

i=1ldimπi=dimUn=12n(n1).\sum_{i=1}^{l}\operatorname{dim}\pi_i=\operatorname{dim}U_n=\frac{1}{2}n(n-1).

Whittaker vanishing conjecture. If JJ satisfies this dimension equation, then JJ is zero for every choice of data.

This is presented as the special case arising from the main length conjecture when the Eisenstein series is a minimal representation. The source does not provide a resolution of this special case.
