Uniformity conjecture for period transfer when n is even

Let E/FE/F be the quadratic extension, let G=GL2nG'=\operatorname{GL}_{2n}, and let π\pi' be a cuspidal representation of G(A)G'(\mathbf A). For each DX(E:F:π)D\in X(E:F:\pi'), let πD\pi_D be the inverse Jacquet–Langlands transfer to the corresponding inner form GD(A)G_D(\mathbf A), and let HH be the associated subgroup. Uniformity conjecture. If nn is even, then for any D1,D2X(E:F:π)D_1,D_2\in X(E:F:\pi'),

πD1 is H-distinguishedπD2 is H-distinguished.\pi_{D_1}\text{ is }H\text{-distinguished}\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad\pi_{D_2}\text{ is }H\text{-distinguished}.

This is the proposed global “anti-dichotomy” principle: for even nn, distinction should be uniform across all inner forms for which the inverse transfer exists. The source presents it as a conjecture motivated by the relative trace formula and explicitly distinguishes it from, and notes that it is not implied by, the local statement.
