Abstract

We establish an SS-duality converse to the one studied by the 1st, 2nd and 4th authors; this is also a case of a twisted version of the relative Langlands duality of Ben Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh.. Namely, we prove that the SS-dual of SO(2n+1)×Sp(2n)\text{SO}(2n+1)\times \text{Sp}(2n) acting on the tensor product of their tautological representations is the symplectic mirabolic space Sp(2n)×Sp(2n)\text{Sp}(2n)\times\text{Sp}(2n) acting on the product TSp(2n)T^* \text{Sp}(2n) and the tautological representations of Sp(2n)\text{Sp}(2n). (Note that due to the anomaly, the dual of the second factor Sp(2n)\text{Sp}(2n) is the metaplectic dual, i.e. Sp(2n)\text{Sp}(2n)). We also formulate the corresponding global conjecture, which describes explicitly the categorical theta-correspondence on the Langlands dual side.
