The coincidence conjecture for smooth and algebraic theta correspondences

Let GG and GG' 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.
