The pole formula for Zelevinsky representations

About 1 year old · traced to

Let m,n∈Mult(ρ)\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{n}\in\mathcal{M}\mathrm{ult}(\rho) be multisegments, let Z(m)\mathrm{Z}(\mathfrak{m}) denote the corresponding representation, and let C(m)C(\mathfrak{m}) be the associated irreducible component. Write Λ\Lambda for the order of the pole at s=0s=0 of the intertwining operator, and hom⁡Π\operatorname{hom}_\Pi for the corresponding generic Hom dimension.

Zelevinsky pole conjecture. One has

Λ(Z(m),Z(n))=hom⁡Π(C(n),C(m)).\Lambda(\mathrm{Z}(\mathfrak{m}),\mathrm{Z}(\mathfrak{n}))=\operatorname{hom}_\Pi(C(\mathfrak{n}),C(\mathfrak{m})).

The source proves this equality when at least one of m,n,m∗,n∗\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{n},\mathfrak{m}^*,\mathfrak{n}^* is balanced, and then proposes the unrestricted multisegment formula. The general statement remains open in the supplied text.
