Abstract
The wave-front set for an irreducible admissible representation of a -adic reductive group is the set of maximal nilpotent orbits which appear in the local character expansion. By M\oe glin-Waldspurger, they are also the maximal nilpotent orbits whose associated degenerate Whittaker models are non-zero. However, in the literature there are two versions commonly used, one defining maximality using analytic closure and the other using Zariski closure. We show that these two definitions are non-equivalent for .
