Representations of $p$-adic groups and orbits with smooth closure in a variety of Langlands parameters
Let $G$ be a reductive $p$-adic group for which the local Langlands correspondence is known, and $\lambda$ an infinitesimal parameter of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if the $p$-adic Kazhdan-Lusztig hypothesis holds for $\lambda$, then for a Langlands parameter $\phi$ with infinitesimal parameter $\lambda$, if $\Pi_\phi(G)$ contains a generic representation, then $L(s, \phi, \Ad)$ is regular at $s=1$. We then prove an analogous statement for ABV-packets, which together with Vogan's conjecture on ABV-packets implies that if Arthur's conjectures for $G$ are known, then one direction of Shahidi's enhanced genericity conjecture holds: If an Arthur packet $\Pi_\psi(G)$ contains a generic representation, then $\phi_\psi$ is tempered. We also offer some speculation about the relationship between Arthur type representations and singularities in varieties of Langlands parameters defined by Vogan.
