The Ext criterion for irreducibility of parabolic induction
Let , and let and be the irreducible representations corresponding to these components. For points and , write for the relevant first Ext group.
Ext criterion conjecture. The representation is irreducible if and only if there exist open subsets and such that
for all .
This conjecture proposes that irreducibility of parabolic induction is governed by generic vanishing of the first Ext group. The source attributes it to Geiss–Schröer and Lapid–Mínguez.
