Ben-Zvi–Sakellaridis–Venkatesh conjecture on duals of BZSV quadruples

From papers

Let Δ=(G,H,ι,ρH)\Delta=(G,H,\iota,\rho_H) be a BZSV quadruple, let LL be the associated Levi subgroup, and set Δred=(L,H,1,ρH,ι)\Delta_{\mathrm{red}}=(L,H,1,\rho_{H,\iota}). Suppose the dual of Δred\Delta_{\mathrm{red}} is

Δ^red=(L^,H^L,ι^,ρ).\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}}=(\hat{L},\hat{H}_L',\hat{\iota}',\rho').

For a representation ρ\rho of a Levi subgroup LL of GG, write (ρ)LG(\rho)_L^G for the representation obtained by transporting the highest weights of its irreducible constituents to dominant highest weights of GG.

Ben-Zvi–Sakellaridis–Venkatesh duality conjecture. The dual of Δ\Delta is

(G^,H^,ι^,(ρ)H^LH^),(\hat{G},\hat{H}',\hat{\iota}',(\rho')_{\hat{H}_L'}^{\hat{H}'}),

where H^L\hat{H}_L' is a Levi subgroup of H^\hat{H}' and H^\hat{H}' is generated by H^L\hat{H}_L' and

{Im(ια)αΔG^ΔM^}.\{\operatorname{Im}(\iota_\alpha)\mid \alpha\in\Delta_{\hat{G}}-\Delta_{\hat{M}}\}.

Here ΔG^\Delta_{\hat{G}} and ΔM^\Delta_{\hat{M}} are the sets of simple roots of G^\hat{G} and L^\hat{L}, respectively, and ια:SL2G^\iota_\alpha:\operatorname{SL}_2\to\hat{G} is the embedding associated with α\alpha.

This conjecture describes how the dual of a general BZSV quadruple should be reconstructed from the dual of its reductive reduction. The source attributes it to Ben-Zvi, Sakellaridis, and Venkatesh and gives no evidence of a resolution.
