Translation conjecture for coherent pairs and restriction cohomology

From papers

Let (pi,pi)(pi,pi') be a coherent pair with Harish-Chandra parameters λ\lambda and λ\lambda' sufficiently far from the walls. Let (σ,σ)(\sigma,\sigma') be an elementary pair, let FF and FF' be irreducible finite-dimensional representations of GG and GG', respectively, and let AA, AA', BB, BB', TT, and SS be the morphisms described above. Translation conjecture. These data can be chosen so that the symmetry-breaking relation

(SprF)A=AT(S \otimes \operatorname{pr}_{F})\circ A=A'\circ T

commutes and all induced morphisms in cohomology are isomorphisms. In particular, all six cohomology groups in the displayed diagram are one-dimensional in degree q=q(π)=q(π)q=q(\pi)=q(\pi'). This predicts that the composite map from H(P,K;πWπ)H^{\ast}({\mathfrak{P}},K;\pi\otimes W_{\pi}^{\vee}) to H(P,K;πWπ)H^{\ast}({\mathfrak{P}}',K';\pi'\otimes {W'_{\pi'}}^{\vee}) obtained from BB_*, translation, and BB'_* is an isomorphism for suitable data.
