Böcherer's paramodular conjecture for prime-level eigenforms

Let pp) be prime and let FSk(Γpara[p])+F\in S^k(\Gamma^{\mathrm{para}}[p])^+ be a paramodular Hecke eigenform of even weight kk. For each fundamental discriminant D<0D<0, let AF(D)A_F(D) denote the normalized average of the Fourier coefficients of FF indexed by quadratic forms of discriminant DD, and let χD\chi_D be the associated quadratic character. Put αD=1+(Dp)\alpha_D=1+\left(\frac{D}{p}\right). Böcherer's conjecture.

AF(D)2=αDCFL(F,1/2,χD)Dk1,A_F(D)^2=\alpha_D C_F L(F,1/2,\chi_D)|D|^{k-1},

where CFC_F is a nonnegative constant depending only on FF. If FF is a Gritsenko lift, then CF>0C_F>0; if FF is not a lift, then CF=0C_F=0 if and only if L(F,1/2)=0L(F,1/2)=0. This is the paramodular analogue of Böcherer's conjecture relating quadratic-twist central values to averages of Fourier coefficients; it is proved for lifts and supported numerically for nonlifts.
