Jiang's conjecture on wavefront sets in local Arthur packets

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let G\mathrm G be a connected reductive group over FF and let G=G(F)G=\mathrm G(F). Assume a local Arthur-packet theory for GG. Let Ψ+(G)\Psi^+(G) be the set of local Arthur parameters, let Πψ\Pi_\psi be the packet attached to ψ\psi, and let Oψ\mathcal O_\psi be its geometric nilpotent orbit. Jiang's conjecture. For every ψ∈Ψ+(G)\psi\in\Psi^+(G), (i) for every π∈Πψ\pi\in\Pi_\psi and every O∈n‾m(π)\mathcal O\in\overline{\mathfrak n}^{m}(\pi),

O≤dBV(Oψ),\mathcal O\leq d_{BV}(\mathcal O_\psi),

and (ii) if GG is quasi-split, at least one π∈Πψ\pi\in\Pi_\psi satisfies

n‾m(π)={dBV(Oψ)}.\overline{\mathfrak n}^{m}(\pi)=\{d_{BV}(\mathcal O_\psi)\}.

The conjecture generalizes the Shahidi conjecture from tempered LL-packets to arbitrary local Arthur packets. Its status depends on the existence and properties of local Arthur packets and is not established in general.
