Uniform finiteness conjecture for Sobolev gaps over the unitary dual

Let GG be a real reductive group, let ww be a fixed weight on GG, and let HC\mathcal{HC} denote the class of Harish-Chandra modules. For a module VV, write s(V,w)s(V,w) for its Sobolev gap and Norm(V,w)\operatorname{Norm}(V,w) for the set of corresponding norms; for πG^\pi\in\widehat G, write s(π)s(\pi) for the associated invariant.

Uniform finiteness conjecture. One has

supVHCNorm(V,w)s(V,w)<.\sup_{\substack{V \in \mathcal{HC}\\ \operatorname{Norm}(V,w)\neq \emptyset}} s(V,w) <\infty.

In particular,

supπG^s(π)<.\sup_{\pi \in \widehat G} s(\pi)<\infty.

This is posed as an open problem after finiteness results for important subclasses, including discrete series and minimal principal series. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
