Unitary-similarity conjecture for Lie-group representations with identical Lie-algebra identities

From papers

Let ρi:GiU(H)\rho_i:G_i\to\mathbf{U}(H) be faithful unirreps of connected simply connected Lie groups in a separable Hilbert space, with corresponding Lie algebras gi\mathfrak{g}_i. Let HGiH^{\infty}_{G_i} be the smooth-vector spaces and ρi:giL(HGi)\partial\rho_i:\mathfrak{g}_i\to L(H^{\infty}_{G_i}) the induced Lie-algebra representations. Suppose these representations have the same identities, and suppose either (a) G1G_1 and G2G_2 are nilpotent, or (b) GiG_i are semisimple and ρi\rho_i are discrete-series representations for i=1,2i=1,2. Unitary-similarity conjecture. Then ρ1\rho_1 is unitarily similar to ρ2\rho_2. The surrounding text gives an analogous theorem for connected real Lie groups at the level of the associative algebras generated by the enveloping-algebra actions; the stated similarity conclusion under the two additional classes of hypotheses is not resolved in the supplied material.
