Ichino–Ikeda refined Gross–Prasad conjecture for special orthogonal groups

Let GnGn+1G_n\subset G_{n+1} be the special orthogonal groups in the Gross–Prasad setting, and let πn\pi_n and πn+1\pi_{n+1} be the associated tempered cuspidal automorphic representations. Let P\mathcal{P} be the global Gn(AF)×Gn(AF)G_n(\mathbb{A}_F)\times G_n(\mathbb{A}_F)-invariant functional and let Pv\mathcal{P}_v be the normalized local functionals. Let ΔGn+1\Delta_{G_{n+1}} be the global motive factor, and let ψi\psi_i be the conjectural LL-parameter for πi\pi_i, with associated component group Sψi=CentGi^(Im(ψi))S_{\psi_i}=\operatorname{Cent}_{\widehat{G_i}}(\operatorname{Im}(\psi_i)). Ichino–Ikeda refined Gross–Prasad conjecture. If β\beta is an integer satisfying 2β=Sψn+1Sψn2^\beta=|S_{\psi_{n+1}}|\,|S_{\psi_n}|, then

P(ϕ,f)=ΔGn+12βL(1/2,πnπn+1)L(1,πn,Ad)L(1,πn+1,Ad)vPv(ϕv,fv).\mathcal{P}(\phi,f)=\frac{\Delta_{G_{n+1}}}{2^\beta}\frac{L(1/2,\pi_n\boxtimes\pi_{n+1})}{L(1,\pi_n,\operatorname{Ad})L(1,\pi_{n+1},\operatorname{Ad})}\prod_v\mathcal{P}_v(\phi_v,f_v).

This conjecture specifies the exact proportionality constant between the global period pairing and the product of normalized local pairings. The source states unconditional results for n=2n=2 and n=3n=3, and for n=4n=4 under the stated theta-lift hypothesis.
