Duality involution conjecture for Whittaker modules

About 5 years old · traced to

Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra under consideration, let η \eta be a character defining the category Nη \mathcal{N}_\eta of Whittaker modules, let WηW_\eta be the corresponding Weyl-group subgroup, and let XμX_\mu denote the generalized z \mathfrak{z}-weight spaces of XX as in the definition of X∨βX^{\vee_\beta}. For nonzero β∈C[Wη] \beta\in\mathbb{C}[W_\eta], set

X∨β:=⨁μXμ∨β.X^{\vee_\beta}:=\bigoplus_\mu X_\mu^{\vee_\beta}.

Duality involution conjecture. If X∈NηX\in\mathcal{N}_\eta and β∈C[Wη] \beta\in\mathbb{C}[W_\eta] is nonzero, then X∨β∈NηX^{\vee_\beta}\in\mathcal{N}_\eta and

(X∨β)∨β≅X.(X^{\vee_\beta})^{\vee_\beta}\cong X.

If η=0 \eta=0, then X∨1=X∨X^{\vee_1}=X^\vee is the usual category O \mathcal{O} duality functor. This would extend the familiar category O \mathcal{O} duality to Whittaker modules, but the asserted closure and involutivity for general nonzero β \beta remain unproved in the source.
