DeBacker's homogeneity conjecture for invariant distributions

About 9 years old · traced to

Let FF be a local non-Archimedean field, let G=GL⁡(n,F)G=\operatorname{GL}(n,F) with Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}, and let B\mathcal B be its Bruhat–Tits building. Fix an irreducible smooth representation (π,V)(\pi,V) of GG with depth ρ(π)\rho(\pi), choose rr such that gr≠gr+=g−ρ(π)\mathfrak{g}_r\ne\mathfrak{g}_{r^+}=\mathfrak{g}_{-\rho(\pi)}, and define Dr+D_{r^+}, J~r+\widetilde J_{r^+}, and J(N)J(\mathcal N) as in the source. Here N\mathcal N is the nilpotent cone, J(N)J(\mathcal N) is the space of invariant distributions supported on it, and res⁡Dr+\operatorname{res}_{D_{r^+}} denotes restriction to Dr+D_{r^+}. DeBacker's homogeneity conjecture. One has

res⁡Dr+J~r+=res⁡Dr+J(N).\operatorname{res}_{D_{r^+}}\widetilde J_{r^+}=\operatorname{res}_{D_{r^+}}J(\mathcal N).

The text states that a theorem on homogeneity follows from this conjecture, but supplies no resolution of the conjecture itself. It is therefore recorded as open.
