Generalized Shahidi conjecture for local L-packets

From papers

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^)πΠϕ}.\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 πΠϕ\pi\in\Pi_\phi and every nilpotent orbit Onm(π)\mathcal O\in\overline{\mathfrak n}^{m}(\pi), there is an OUB(ϕ)\mathcal O'\in\mathrm{UB}(\phi) with OO\mathcal O\leq\mathcal O', and for every OUB(ϕ)\mathcal O'\in\mathrm{UB}(\phi) there is a πΠϕ\pi\in\Pi_\phi such that

nm(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.
