Buttcane's conjecture on the interchange of integral

Let G(R)G(\mathbb{R}) be the real group under consideration, let U(R)U(\mathbb{R}) be its maximal unipotent subgroup, and let Uσ(R)U_\sigma(\mathbb{R}) be the subgroup associated with a relevant Weyl-group element σ\sigma. Write a\mathfrak{a}^* for the relevant real vector space, aC\mathfrak{a}^*_{\mathbb{C}} for its complexification, and let W(iν,,ψ)W(-i\nu,\cdot,\psi) be the Whittaker function for a generic character ψ\psi. For hh smooth and compactly supported with h(0)=1h(0)=1, define the regularized kernel by

K~σ(iν,y,t)=limR0Uσ(R)\U(R)h(u1R)W(iν,yσu1t,ψ)ψ(u1)du1.\widetilde K_\sigma(-i\nu,y,t)=\lim_{R\to0}\int_{U_\sigma(\mathbb{R})\backslash U(\mathbb{R})}h\left(\frac{\lVert u_1\rVert}{R}\right)W(-i\nu,y\sigma u_1t,\psi)\overline{\psi(u_1)}\,du_1.

Buttcane's conjecture. Let gg be holomorphic with rapid decay on an open tube domain in aC\mathfrak{a}^*_{\mathbb{C}} containing a\mathfrak{a}^*, let tG(R)t\in G(\mathbb{R}), let ψ\psi be generic, and let σ\sigma be relevant. Then for almost all ySp4(R)y\in\operatorname{Sp}_4(\mathbb{R}) satisfying yuy1u1U0(R)yuy^{-1}u^{-1}\in U_0(\mathbb{R}) for all uUσ(R)u\in U_\sigma(\mathbb{R}),

Uσ(R)\U(R)ag(iν)W(iν,yσu1t,ψ)dνψ(u1)du1=ag(iν)K~σ(iν,y,t)dν.\int_{U_\sigma(\mathbb{R})\backslash U(\mathbb{R})}\int_{\mathfrak{a}^*}g(-i\nu)W(-i\nu,y\sigma u_1t,\psi)\,d\nu\,\overline{\psi(u_1)}\,du_1=\int_{\mathfrak{a}^*}g(-i\nu)\widetilde K_\sigma(-i\nu,y,t)\,d\nu.

Moreover, K~σ\widetilde K_\sigma is entire in ν\nu and smooth and polynomially bounded in tt and yy when Re(iν)\operatorname{Re}(-i\nu) lies in a fixed compact set. This interchange would justify removing the a\mathfrak{a}^*-integration from the preceding Archimedean orbital-integral formula, while the asserted regularity and bounds describe the analytic control needed for that application.
