The modularity conjecture in the split Lagrangian case

Let E\mathcal{E} be a rank mm vector bundle on XX', let E=σHom(E,νL)\mathcal{E}'=\sigma^{*}\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}(\mathcal{E},\nu^{*}\mathfrak{L}), and let G=EE\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{E}\oplus\mathcal{E}' be the associated Hermitian vector bundle. Thus (G,E)(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{E}) and (G,E)(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{E}') are points of BunPm,ωX1L(k)\operatorname{Bun}_{P_m,\omega_X^{-1}\otimes\mathfrak{L}}(k). Split Lagrangian modularity conjecture. In Chr(nm)(ShtU(n),Lr)\operatorname{Ch}_{r(n-m)}(\operatorname{Sht}^{r}_{U(n),\mathfrak{L}}), one has

χ(detE)qndegE/2aAE(k)ζ[ZEr(a)]=χ(detE)qndegE/2aAE(k)ζ[ZEr(a)],\chi(\det\mathcal{E})q^{n\deg\mathcal{E}/2}\sum_{a\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{E}}(k)}\zeta_{*}[\mathcal{Z}^{r}_{\mathcal{E}}(a)] =\chi(\det\mathcal{E}')q^{n\deg\mathcal{E}'/2}\sum_{a'\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{E}'}(k)}\zeta_{*}[\mathcal{Z}^{r}_{\mathcal{E}'}(a')],

and equivalently

η(L)mnqn(degEmdegL)aAE(k)ζ[ZEr(a)]=aAE(k)ζ[ZEr(a)].\eta(\mathfrak{L})^{mn}q^{n(\deg\mathcal{E}-m\deg\mathfrak{L})}\sum_{a\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{E}}(k)}\zeta_{*}[\mathcal{Z}^{r}_{\mathcal{E}}(a)] =\sum_{a'\in\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{E}'}(k)}\zeta_{*}[\mathcal{Z}^{r}_{\mathcal{E}'}(a')].

This is the specialization of the main modularity conjecture comparing the two Lagrangian sub-bundles. Its status is therefore open in general, although it has consequences and special cases arising from the broader conjecture.
