Equality of rational and Zariski wave-front sets

About 3 years old · traced to

Let FF be a nonarchimedean local field, let GG be a reductive algebraic group over FF, and let π\pi be an irreducible admissible representation of G(F)G(F). Let WF⁡rat(π)\operatorname{WF}^{rat}(\pi) and WF⁡Zar(π)\operatorname{WF}^{Zar}(\pi) be the rational and Zariski wave-front sets, and let WF⁡‾rat(π)\overline{\operatorname{WF}}^{rat}(\pi) and WF⁡‾Zar(π)\overline{\operatorname{WF}}^{Zar}(\pi) be their corresponding geometric wave-front sets. Equality of rational and Zariski wave-front sets. We have

WF⁡‾rat(π)=WF⁡‾Zar(π)\overline{\operatorname{WF}}^{rat}(\pi)=\overline{\operatorname{WF}}^{Zar}(\pi)

or equivalently

WF⁡rat(π)=WF⁡Zar(π).\operatorname{WF}^{rat}(\pi)=\operatorname{WF}^{Zar}(\pi).

The paper presents this statement as equivalent to the singleton formulation in the relevant setting, and the first counterexample to the geometric singleton conjecture also refutes it. Thus it is not open in the generality considered here.
