Generalized Shahidi conjecture for local L-packets

About 2 years old · traced to

Let G\mathrm G be a connected reductive group and let G=G(F)G=\mathrm G(F). Assume the local Langlands correspondence for GG. For a local LL-parameter ϕ\phi, let Πϕ\Pi_\phi be its local LL-packet and define

UB(ϕ)=max⁡{dBV(Oϕπ^)∣π∈Πϕ}.\mathrm{UB}(\phi)=\max\{d_{BV}(\mathcal O_{\phi_{\widehat\pi}})\mid \pi\in\Pi_\phi\}.

Generalized Shahidi conjecture for local LL-packets. For every π∈Πϕ\pi\in\Pi_\phi and every nilpotent orbit O∈n‾m(π)\mathcal O\in\overline{\mathfrak n}^{m}(\pi), there is an O′∈UB(ϕ)\mathcal O'\in\mathrm{UB}(\phi) with O≤O′\mathcal O\leq\mathcal O', and for every O′∈UB(ϕ)\mathcal O'\in\mathrm{UB}(\phi) there is a π∈Πϕ\pi\in\Pi_\phi such that

n‾m(π)={O′}.\overline{\mathfrak n}^{m}(\pi)=\{\mathcal O'\}.

This is a proposed extension of the Shahidi conjecture to arbitrary local LL-packets. Its first part is equivalent to the upper bound conjecture, while the possible nonsingleton nature of UB(ϕ)\mathrm{UB}(\phi) makes the full assertion difficult and unresolved.
