The local theta correspondence conjecture for quaternionic dual pairs

Let DD be a division quaternion algebra over FF, let VV be a Hermitian space over DD, and let WW be a skew-Hermitian space over DD. Let ψ ⁣:FC1\psi\colon F\to\mathbb{C}^1 be a non-trivial character, and let (z+,φ+)RIT(V#,V)(z_+,\varphi_+)\in\mathcal{RIT}^\star(V^\#,V) and (z,φ)RIT(W#,W)(z_-,\varphi_-)\in\mathcal{RIT}^\star(W^\#,W) be corresponding rigid inner twists. Write G0(W)G_0(W) for the Zariski connected component of G(V)G(V) containing 11, and assume that dimWdimV\dim W-\dim V is 00 or 11. Let ξ\xi be the relevant embedding of LL-groups, and let ϕ\phi and ϕ\phi' be tempered LL-parameters of G(V)G(V) and G0(W)G_0(W) with ϕ=ξϕ\phi=\xi\circ\phi'.

Local theta correspondence conjecture. If sSϕ+s\in S_\phi^+ and sSϕ+s'\in S_{\phi'}^+ are associated via ξ\xi, and πΠϕ(G(V))\pi\in\Pi_\phi(G(V)), then θψ(π,W)\theta_\psi(\pi,W) has LL-parameter ϕ\phi' and

ιϕ[w+,z+,φ+](π)(s)=ιϕ[w,z,φ](θψ(π,W))(s).\iota_\phi[\mathfrak{w}_+,z_+,\varphi_+](\pi)(s)=\overline{\iota_{\phi'}[\mathfrak{w}_-,z_-,\varphi_-](\theta_\psi(\pi,W))(s')}.

This conjecture describes the quaternionic local theta correspondence in terms of Langlands parameters and the character relations defining the local Langlands packets. Non-vanishing in the stated range is known, but the asserted parameter identity and character formula are the conjectural part.
