Abstract
The Lusztig correspondence is a bijective mapping between the Lusztig series indexed by the conjugacy class of a semisimple element s" id="MathJax-Element-1-Frame" role="presentation" style="font-size: 112%; position: relative;" tabindex="0"> in the connected component (G∗)0" id="MathJax-Element-2-Frame" role="presentation" style="font-size: 112%; position: relative;" tabindex="0"> of the dual group of G" id="MathJax-Element-3-Frame" role="presentation" style="font-size: 112%; position: relative;" tabindex="0"> and the set of irreducible unipotent characters of the centralizer of s" id="MathJax-Element-4-Frame" role="presentation" style="font-size: 112%; position: relative;" tabindex="0"> in G∗" id="MathJax-Element-5-Frame" role="presentation" style="font-size: 112%; position: relative;" tabindex="0">. In this article we discuss the unicity and ambiguity of such a bijective correspondence. In particular, we show that the Lusztig correspondence for a classical group can be made to be unique if we require it to be compatible with the parabolic induction and the finite theta correspondence.
