Vogan's geometric form of the local Langlands correspondence

Let Gˇ\check G be a connected reductive algebraic group over F=QpF=\mathbb{Q}_p, let GG be its Langlands dual group, and let Λ:WFLGˇ\Lambda:W_F\to{}^L\check G be an infinitesimal character. Let EΛE_\Lambda be the Vogan variety with its GΛ=ZG(Λ)G_\Lambda=Z_G(\Lambda)-action, and let RepΛ(Gˇδ)\operatorname{Rep}_\Lambda(\check G_\delta) denote the finite-length category of smooth representations of the pure inner form Gˇδ\check G_\delta whose irreducible factors have infinitesimal character Λ\Lambda. Vogan's local Langlands correspondence. There is a perfect pairing

(δH1(F,Gˇ)KRepΛ(Gˇδ))×KDb(EΛ,GΛ)Z\Big(\bigoplus_{\delta\in H^1(F,\check G)}K\operatorname{Rep}_\Lambda(\check G_\delta)\Big)\times K D^b(E_\Lambda,G_\Lambda)\to\mathbb{Z}

such that the classes of simple, respectively standard, objects on both sides form dual bases up to some signs. In particular, the change-of-basis matrices on both sides between simple objects and standard objects are transposes of each other. This is a geometric formulation of the local Langlands correspondence relating representation categories of pure inner forms to equivariant sheaves on the Vogan variety. The excerpt gives no resolution of the assertion, so it remains open.
