TL;DR
The paper clarifies how Harish-Chandra parameters and Langlands-Vogan parameters correspond for real symplectic groups and equal-rank orthogonal groups, enabling translation of the Howe dual-pair theta correspondence into the LV framework. It provides explicit recipes for the Langlands-Vogan parameters of theta lifts and shows that the LV parameter of a Sp representation shifts by 1 under the corresponding orthogonal lift, with parabolic induction handling tempered representations. By rephrasing Moeglin’s and Paul’s results in LV terms, the work lays foundational steps toward real GGP conjectures in the Fourier–Jacobi setting and bridges classical HC-parameter descriptions with modern LV-parameter parametrizations for theta correspondences. Overall, it offers a concrete LV-language bridge between theta correspondence and the rich structure of real reductive equal-rank groups, opening pathways for further applications in automorphic representation theory over the reals.
Abstract
In this note, we make explicit the correspondence between Harish-Chandra parameters and Langlands-Vogan parameters for symplectic groups and orthogonal groups of equal rank over reals. As an application, we reformulate Moeglin's results and Paul's work on the Howe correspondence for symplectic-orthogonal dual pairs using Langlands-Vogan parameters.
