Global coherence conjecture for wavefront sets of automorphic representations

Let kk be a number field and let GG be a reductive algebraic group defined over kk. Let

π=vπv\pi=\bigotimes_v\pi_v

be an automorphic representation, where vv ranges over the places of kk, kvk_v is the corresponding completion, and each πv\pi_v is a smooth irreducible admissible representation of G(kv)G(k_v). For each place, let

\WF(πv)Nkvg(kv)\WF(\pi_v)\subset {\mathcal N}^*_{k_v}\subset {\mathfrak g}(k_v)^*

a closed G(kv)G(k_v)-invariant cone. Choose the local characters ψv\psi_v so that

vψv(x)=1,(xk).\prod_v\psi_v(x)=1,\qquad (x\in k).

Global coherence of wavefront sets. There should exist a coadjoint orbit depending on π\pi,

O=G(k)ξg(k),{\mathcal O}=G(k)\cdot\xi\subset {\mathfrak g}(k)^*,

with the property that

\WF(πv)=Conekv(O)\WF(\pi_v)=\operatorname{Cone}_{k_v}({\mathcal O})

for every place vv. This conjecture proposes that the local wavefront sets of an automorphic representation arise coherently by extending a single global coadjoint orbit to every completion of the number field.
