Orbit-Method description of the unitary dual for real reductive groups
Orbit-Method description of the unitary dual for real reductive groups
Let be a real reductive group. Let be the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary -representations, and let be the corresponding set of birationally rigid unipotent representations. For every Levi subgroup of , let denote the representations obtained from these representations by the stated sequence of real parabolic induction, unitarity-preserving cohomological induction, generalized complementary-series constructions, and extraction of direct summands. Orbit-Method conjecture. There is an equality
where the union runs over all -conjugacy classes of Levi subgroups of . This conjecturally describes the entire unitary dual by starting with birationally rigid unipotent representations of Levi subgroups and applying the three unitary-preserving procedures. The source leaves the generalized complementary-series construction imprecise and presents the equality as conjectural; no resolution is given.
