Maximal left ideal classification conjecture for Hermitian locally compact groups

Let GG be a Hermitian locally compact group. For a representation pipi of GG and a unit vector xixi in its representation space Hpi\mathcal{H}_pi, define

Jπ,ξ={μM(G):π(μ)ξ=0}\mathcal{J}_{\pi,\xi}=\{\mu\in M(G):\pi(\mu)\xi=0\}

and, for fL1(G)f\in L^1(G), define

Iπ,ξ={fL1(G):π(f)ξ=0}.\mathcal{I}_{\pi,\xi}=\{f\in L^1(G):\pi(f)\xi=0\}.

A representation is vanishing at infinity when its matrix coefficients vanish at infinity. Maximal left ideal classification conjecture. The weak*-closed maximal left ideals of M(G)M(G) are given exactly by Jπ,ξ\mathcal{J}_{\pi,\xi}, where π\pi is an irreducible representation vanishing at infinity, and ξ\xi is a unit vector in Hπ\mathcal{H}_\pi with the property that Iπ,ξ\mathcal{I}_{\pi,\xi} is a maximal modular left ideal of L1(G)L^1(G). This conjecture proposes an analogue of the classification of maximal modular left ideals in L1(G)L^1(G) and of Barnes' theorem for integrable representations; the paper proves it for a large class of Hermitian locally compact groups, but it remains open in the stated generality.
