The local Langlands correspondence conjecture for Mp(2n)

Let G~=Mp(2n)\tilde{G}=\operatorname{Mp}(2n), let Φbdd(G~)\Phi_{\mathrm{bdd}}(\tilde{G}) denote the set of bounded parameters, and let Cϕ,ssC_{\phi,\mathrm{ss}} and SϕS_\phi be the semisimple centralizer and its component group attached to ϕ\phi. For sCϕ,sss\in C_{\phi,\mathrm{ss}}, let Vϕs=1V_\phi^{s=-1} be the (1)(-1)-eigenspace of ss in the representation associated with ϕ\phi, and define

ϵ~ϕ(s)=ϵ(12,Vϕs=1,ψ).\tilde{\epsilon}_\phi(s)=\epsilon\left(\frac{1}{2},V_\phi^{s=-1},\psi\right).

The local Langlands correspondence conjecture. There should be a local Langlands correspondence

Irr~temp(G~)=ϕΦbdd(G~)Πϕ\widetilde{\operatorname{Irr}}_{\rm temp}(\tilde{G})=\bigsqcup_{\phi\in\Phi_{\mathrm{bdd}}(\tilde{G})}\Pi_\phi

with character relations satisfying the stated hypothesis, such that the assignment π,π:Cϕ,ssC×\pi\mapsto\langle\cdot,\pi\rangle:C_{\phi,\mathrm{ss}}\to\mathbb{C}^\times gives

Πϕ1:1Irr(Sϕ)ϵ~ϕ,\Pi_\phi\xrightarrow{1:1}\operatorname{Irr}(S_\phi)\cdot\tilde{\epsilon}_\phi,

a torsor under Irr(Sϕ)\operatorname{Irr}(S_\phi). The conjecture is intended to describe tempered packets for the metaplectic group and their character relations; the source notes that the factor ϵ~ϕ\tilde{\epsilon}_\phi need not generally belong to Irr(Sϕ)\operatorname{Irr}(S_\phi), although it does for discrete-series parameters, and that an analogous formulation for AA-packets is possible.
