Injectivity conjecture for minimal multisegment derivatives

Let GnG_n be the relevant general linear group, let ρ\rho be the fixed cuspidal representation, and let Irrρ\mathrm{Irr}_{\rho} and Multρ\mathrm{Mult}_{\rho} denote the corresponding irreducible representations and multisegments. For n={Δ1,,Δr}Multρ\mathfrak n=\{\Delta_1,\ldots,\Delta_r\}\in\mathrm{Mult}_{\rho}, write DnD_{\mathfrak n} for the associated iterated derivative, λ~(n)=St(Δ1)××St(Δr)\widetilde{\lambda}(\mathfrak n)=\mathrm{St}(\Delta_1)\times\cdots\times\mathrm{St}(\Delta_r) for its co-standard representation, and labs(Δi)l_{\mathrm{abs}}(\Delta_i) for the absolute length of Δi\Delta_i. A multisegment is minimal to π\pi when it has the minimality property defined in the paper.

Generalized injectivity conjecture. Let πIrrρ\pi\in\mathrm{Irr}_{\rho} and let nMultρ\mathfrak n\in\mathrm{Mult}_{\rho} be minimal to π\pi. Set

l=labs(Δ1)++labs(Δr).l=l_{\mathrm{abs}}(\Delta_1)+\cdots+l_{\mathrm{abs}}(\Delta_r).

Then the unique nonzero map

Dn(π)λ~(n)πNlD_{\mathfrak n}(\pi)\boxtimes\widetilde{\lambda}(\mathfrak n)\longrightarrow\pi_{N_l}

is injective.

This conjecture generalizes the injectivity result for a pair of linked segments to arbitrary minimal multisegments; its resolution is intended to clarify the embedding model for Bernstein–Zelevinsky derivatives.
