Muić's irreducibility conjecture for big theta lifts

Let FF be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero, let G(Wn)G(W_n) and H(Vm)H(V_m) be the members of a local theta-correspondence dual pair, and let θ(π)\theta(\pi) and Θ(π)\Theta(\pi) denote respectively the small and big theta lifts of an irreducible discrete series representation π\pi of G(Wn)G(W_n) to H(Vm)H(V_m). The big theta lift is understood to be the full lift, while the small theta lift is its irreducible quotient when non-zero.

Muić's conjecture. The big theta lift Θ(π)\Theta(\pi) to H(Vm)H(V_m) is irreducible, if non-zero.

This conjecture extends Muić's result in the cases where the small theta lift of a discrete series representation is non-zero and tempered. The paper states that it proves the conjecture, so its status is recorded as solved.
