Geometric duality conjecture for Whittaker sheaves

Fix a regular weight λh \lambda\in\mathfrak{h}^* and let XX be the flag variety of g \mathfrak{g}. Let QQ be an open BB-orbit in a PηP_\eta-orbit on XX, let OQ \mathcal{O}_Q be an η \eta-twisted NN-equivariant connection on QQ, and let i:QXi:Q\hookrightarrow X be the inclusion. Fix a basis {δw} \{\delta_w\} of C[Wη] \mathbb{C}[W_\eta] and a WηW_\eta-equivariant isomorphism from C[Wη] \mathbb{C}[W_\eta] to the WηW_\eta-coinvariants of S(h)S(\mathfrak{h}). If hwh_w is the image of δw \delta_w and

β=Wηλ(hw)δw,\beta=\sum_{W_\eta}\lambda(h_w)\delta_w,

then geometric duality conjecture. As U(g)U(\mathfrak{g})-modules,

Γ(X,i+OQ)βΓ(X,i!OQ).\Gamma(X,i_+\mathcal{O}_Q)^{\vee_\beta}\cong\Gamma(X,i_!\mathcal{O}_Q).

More generally, for a holonomic (Dλ,N,η)(\mathcal{D}_\lambda,N,\eta)-module M \mathcal{M} on XX,

Γ(X,M)βΓ(X,VXM).\Gamma(X,\mathcal{M})^{\vee_\beta}\cong\Gamma(X,\mathbb{V}_X\mathcal{M}).

This proposes a relationship between the algebraic duality defined on Whittaker modules and the geometric distinction between extension by direct image and extension by zero; the general statement remains open in the source.
