Gross–Prasad conjecture on generic members and adjoint L-functions

Let GG be a split connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field FF, let LG{}^LG be its LL-group with connected component 4G^44\widehat{G}4, and let φ:WFLG\varphi: W'_F\to {}^LG be an LL-parameter. Write Πφ(G)\Pi_{\varphi}(G) for the associated LL-packet, and let L(s,AdG^φ)L(s,\operatorname{Ad}_{\widehat{G}}\circ\varphi) be the adjoint LL-function attached to the adjoint action of G^\widehat{G} on its Lie algebra. A member of Πφ(G)\Pi_{\varphi}(G) is generic if it admits a Whittaker model. Gross–Prasad's conjecture. Πφ(G)\Pi_{\varphi}(G) contains a generic member if and only if

L(s,AdG^φ)L(s,\operatorname{Ad}_{\widehat{G}}\circ\varphi)

is regular at s=1s=1. Equivalently, a representation π\pi is generic if and only if L(s,π,AdG^)L(s,\pi,\operatorname{Ad}_{\widehat{G}}) is regular at s=1s=1. This conjecture relates genericity within an LL-packet to the analytic behavior of its adjoint LL-function; the supplied source identifies it as a conjecture of D. Gross and D. Prasad, and does not state whether it has been resolved in this generality.
