Arthur–Barbasch–Vogan unitarity conjecture for special unipotent representations

At least 16 years old · documented by

Let Gd53fG_{d53f} be the real points of a connected reductive complex algebraic group, and let XX be an irreducible (g,K)(\mathfrak{g},K)-module. If XX is special unipotent, meaning that its annihilator is the maximal primitive ideal I(O∨)I(\mathcal{O}^\vee) associated with a nilpotent adjoint orbit O∨\mathcal{O}^\vee in the Lie algebra g∨\mathfrak{g}^\vee of the Langlands dual group, then

Arthur–Barbasch–Vogan conjecture. XX is unitarizable.

Special unipotent representations are small representations with infinitesimal character determined by one-half of the semisimple element in an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triple for O∨\mathcal{O}^\vee. The conjecture asserts their unitarity in general; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
