Endoscopic character identity for covers of reductive groups

Let GG be a reductive group with cover G(F)xGG(F)_{x_G}, let (s˙,H)(\dot s,\mathcal H) be a refined endoscopic datum for GG, and let H(F)xHH(F)_{x_H} be the corresponding endoscopic cover. Let φG\varphi^G and φH\varphi_H be tempered LL-parameters related by the LL-embedding LξH,G^L\xi_{H,G}, and let ΘφGs,w\Theta^{s,\mathsf{w}}_{\varphi_G} and SΘφHS\Theta_{\varphi_H} be the associated weighted and stable character distributions. If fCc(G(F)xG)f \in \mathcal C_c^\infty(G(F)_{x_G}) and fHCc(H(F)xH)f^H \in \mathcal C_c^\infty(H(F)_{x_H}) are matching anti-genuine functions, then

ΘφGs,w(f)=SΘφH(fH).\Theta^{s,\mathsf{w}}_{\varphi_G}(f)=S\Theta_{\varphi_H}(f^H).

Equivalently, for strongly regular semi-simple elements and the transfer factor Δx[w]\Delta'_x[\mathsf{w}],

ΘφGs,w(δG)=γΔx[w](γH,δG)SΘφH(γH),\Theta^{s,\mathsf{w}}_{\varphi_G}(\delta_G)=\sum_\gamma \Delta'_x[\mathsf{w}](\gamma_H,\delta_G)S\Theta_{\varphi_H}(\gamma_H),

where the sum runs over strongly regular semi-simple elements γ\gamma of H(F)H(F) up to stable conjugacy, and γHH(F)xH\gamma_H\in H(F)_{x_H} is an arbitrary lift of γ\gamma. This is the expected character identity for refined endoscopic transfer in the setting of covers of reductive groups; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
