The closedness conjecture for spectral orbits

Let GG be a real reductive group, let P=LUP=LU be a parabolic subgroup with abelian unipotent radical UU, and let π\pi be a Casselman–Wallach representation of GG. Define the spectral orbits of π\pi to be the LL-orbits in U^\widehat{U} containing some ϕ\phi such that

π/uvϕ(u)vuU,vπ0.\pi / \langle u\cdot v-\phi(u)v\mid u\in U,\,v\in\pi\rangle\neq 0.

Let SOU(π)\mathrm{SO}_U(\pi) denote the union of these spectral orbits.

Closedness conjecture for spectral orbits. The subset SOU(π)\mathrm{SO}_U(\pi) is closed in U^\widehat{U}.

The conjecture concerns the relationship between coarse spectral filtrations and nilpotent invariants of representations. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
