Howe's duality conjecture for reductive dual pairs

At least 27 years old · documented by

Let GG) and G′G^{\prime} be mutual centralizers forming a reductive dual pair inside a symplectic group over a local field FF. Let ω\omega be an oscillator representation of the metaplectic group, and let R(E)\mathcal{R}(E) denote the set of equivalence classes of continuous irreducible representations of the preimage of a reductive subgroup EE that can be realized as quotients of the smooth oscillator representation. Howe's duality conjecture. The set R(G⋅G′)\mathcal{R}(G\cdot G^{\prime}) is the graph of a bijection between all of R(G)\mathcal{R}(G) and all of R(G′)\mathcal{R}(G^{\prime}). Moreover, an element of R(G⋅G′)\mathcal{R}(G\cdot G^{\prime}) occurs as a quotient of ω\omega in a unique way. This conjecture asserts both multiplicity-free theta correspondence and uniqueness of the corresponding quotient realization for the representations under consideration.
