Universal irreducibility structure for Harish-Chandra parabolic induction

Let GG be a reductive group, let P=MNP=MN be a parabolic subgroup, and let IPG(σ)I^G_P(\sigma) be the parabolic induction of an irreducible admissible representation σ\sigma of MM. Suppose that the reducibility conditions of IPG(σ)I^G_P(\sigma) lie in a standard Levi subgroup LL of a parabolic subgroup Q=LVP=MNQ=LV\subset P=MN. For a representation τ\tau in the Jordan–Hölder set JH(ILPL(σ))JH(I^L_{L\cap P}(\sigma)), write IQG(τ)I^G_Q(\tau) for the corresponding induced representation. Universal irreducibility conjecture. The representation IQG(τ)I^G_Q(\tau) is always irreducible for every τJH(ILPL(σ))\tau\in JH(I^L_{L\cap P}(\sigma)). This conjecture proposes a universal hierarchical structure for reducibility: once all reducibility conditions are contained in the smaller Levi subgroup LL, induction from QQ to GG should introduce no further reducibility. The paper presents this as a conjectural direction motivated by a Muller-type irreducibility criterion; no resolution is supplied.
