The coincidence conjecture for smooth and algebraic theta correspondences

About 10 years old · traced to

Let GG and G′G' be a reductive dual pair, let G~\widetilde{G} and G′~\widetilde{G'} be their corresponding covering groups, and let ωG,G′\omega_{G,G'} be the oscillator representation. Define the smooth and algebraic theta-representation sets by

R∞(G~×G′~,ωG,G′)⊆Ralg(G~×G′~,ωG,G′),\mathscr{R}^{\infty}(\widetilde{G}\times \widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'})\subseteq \mathscr{R}^{\mathrm{alg}}(\widetilde{G}\times \widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'}),

and similarly for each member of the dual pair, as in the source. Coincidence conjecture. The inclusions

R∞(G~,ωG,G′)⊂Ralg(G~,ωG,G′),\mathscr{R}^{\infty}(\widetilde{G},\omega_{G,G'})\subset \mathscr{R}^{\mathrm{alg}}(\widetilde{G},\omega_{G,G'}), R∞(G′~,ωG,G′)⊂Ralg(G′~,ωG,G′),\mathscr{R}^{\infty}(\widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'})\subset \mathscr{R}^{\mathrm{alg}}(\widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'}),

and

R∞(G~×G′~,ωG,G′)⊂Ralg(G~×G′~,ωG,G′)\mathscr{R}^{\infty}(\widetilde{G}\times \widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'})\subset \mathscr{R}^{\mathrm{alg}}(\widetilde{G}\times \widetilde{G'},\omega_{G,G'})

are all equalities. The conjecture predicts that the smooth and algebraic theta correspondences coincide; the algebraic correspondence is known to be the graph of a bijection, while equality of the smooth and algebraic representation sets is the asserted unresolved coincidence.
