Functorial transfer conjecture for cohomological representations from Sp(4,R)\operatorname{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})

Let π\pi be an irreducible unitary representation of Sp(4,R)\operatorname{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R}) such that π\pi has non-vanishing cohomology, and let ι(π)\iota(\pi) denote its transferred representation to GL(5,R)\operatorname{GL}(5,\mathbb{R}). Let MλM_\lambda be a finite-dimensional representation such that π\pi is cohomological with respect to MλM_\lambda, and let ι(Mλ)\iota(M_\lambda) denote the corresponding transferred coefficient representation.

Functorial transfer conjecture. The representation ι(π)\iota(\pi) is cohomological if π\pi is one of the following: the trivial representation; a discrete series representation of Sp(4,R)\operatorname{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R}); or a representation induced from the Siegel parabolic. Furthermore, ι(π)\iota(\pi) is cohomological with respect to ι(Mλ)\iota(M_\lambda) whenever π\pi is cohomological with respect to MλM_\lambda.

The conjecture would complete the classification of which unitary irreducible cohomological representations of Sp(4,R)\operatorname{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R}) transfer to cohomological representations of GL(5,R)\operatorname{GL}(5,\mathbb{R}), including non-trivial coefficient systems. The paper notes that the corresponding classification in the non-trivial coefficient case is difficult because an analogous version of Speh's classification is unavailable.
