Solvable base-change and descent conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let E/F′E/F' be a solvable extension of number fields, and let Π\Pi be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GLn(AE)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_E) that is Gal(E/F′)\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')-invariant. Let a character of E×\AE×E^{\times}\backslash\mathbb{A}_E^{\times} be viewed as a Hecke character, and let Gal(E/F′)∧\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')^{\wedge} denote the character group. Solvable base-change and descent conjecture. There is a Gal(E/F′)\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')-invariant character

χ∈(E×\AE×)∧\chi\in (E^{\times}\backslash\mathbb{A}_E^{\times})^{\wedge}

such that Π⊗χ\Pi\otimes\chi descends to GLn(AF′)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_{F'}). If H2(Gal(E/F′),C×)=0H^2(\mathrm{Gal}(E/F'),\mathbb{C}^{\times})=0, χ\chi may be chosen trivial. Conversely, if π1′\pi'_1 and π2′\pi'_2 are cuspidal automorphic representations of GLn(AF′)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_{F'}) that both base change to a cuspidal representation Π\Pi of GLn(AE)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_E), then there is a unique χ∈Gal(E/F′)∧\chi\in\mathrm{Gal}(E/F')^{\wedge} such that π1′≅π2′⊗χ\pi'_1\cong\pi'_2\otimes\chi. The statement is known in the special cases mentioned immediately before it in the source, but is open in general.
