The compact induction conjecture for supercuspidal representations

From papers

Let FF be a nonarchimedean local field, let G\boldsymbol{\mathrm{G}} be a connected reductive group defined over FF, and let G=G(F)G=\boldsymbol{\mathrm{G}}(F) with center ZZ. Let (π,V)(\pi,V) be an irreducible supercuspidal representation of GG. The compact induction conjecture. There exists a compact subgroup KGK\subset G and a KK-stable subspace WVW\subset V such that

(π,V)=cIndKZGW(\pi,V)=\operatorname{cInd}_{KZ}^G W

as representations of GG, where WW is viewed as a representation of KZKZ by letting ZZ act through the central character of (π,V)(\pi,V). This is a folklore conjecture in the representation theory of pp-adic groups; the paper proves it for groups of relative rank one, while the general case remains open.
