The Clifford algebra isomorphism conjecture for geometric Waldspurger periods

Let XX be a smooth projective curve and let EE be an irreducible SL2\operatorname{SL}_2-local system on XX such that, for every d\ts0d\ts 0 and every covering ϕ:YX\phi:Y\to X in RCovd\operatorname{RCov}^d, one has H0(Y,ϕE)=0\operatorname{H}^0(Y,\phi^*E)=0. Let CLE(X)CLEdCL_E(X)\otimes CL_E^d be the corresponding sheaf of Z/2Z\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z-graded Clifford algebras on RCovd\operatorname{RCov}^d, and let FE{\cal F}_E be the associated local system, with End(FE)FE2\operatorname{End}({\cal F}_E)\simeq {\cal F}_E^{\otimes 2}. Clifford algebra isomorphism conjecture. Under these assumptions, the isomorphism CLE(X)CLEdEnd(FE)CL_E(X)\otimes CL_E^d\simeq \operatorname{End}({\cal F}_E) is an isomorphism of Z/2Z\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z-graded sheaves of algebras on RCovd\operatorname{RCov}^d. This is a stronger compatibility statement identifying the Clifford algebra action with the full graded endomorphism algebra of the geometric Waldspurger local system; the source does not provide evidence resolving it.
