Ginzburg–Rallis global conjecture for the exterior-cube L-function

Let kk be a global field with ring of adeles A{\boldsymbol A}, and let DD range over quaternion algebras over kk. For an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation π\pi of GL6(A)\operatorname{GL}_6({\mathbb A}) with central character ωπ=χ2\omega_\pi=\chi^2 for an idele character χ\chi of A×/k×{\mathbb A}^{\times}/k^{\times}, let πD\pi_D denote its Jacquet–Langlands transfer to GL3(D)(A)\operatorname{GL}_3(D)({\mathbb A}) when it exists, and let PRD,σDξD{\mathcal P}_{R_D,\sigma_D\otimes\xi_D} be the corresponding Ginzburg–Rallis period. Ginzburg–Rallis conjecture. The central value LS(12,π,Λ3)L^S(\frac{1}{2},\pi,\Lambda^3) does not vanish if and only if there is a unique quaternion algebra DD over kk such that πD\pi_D exists and PRD,σDξD(ϕD)0{\mathcal P}_{R_D,\sigma_D\otimes\xi_D}(\phi^D)\ne0 for some ϕDπD\phi^D\in\pi_D, while PRD,σDξD(ϕD){\mathcal P}_{R_{D'},\sigma_{D'}\otimes\xi_{D'}}(\phi^{D'}) vanishes identically for every quaternion algebra DD' not isomorphic to DD over kk and every ϕDπD\phi^{D'}\in\pi_{D'}. This is the global period–central-value conjecture for the Ginzburg–Rallis model, analogous to the global Gan–Gross–Prasad and Jacquet conjectures; the source notes that it is encompassed by the general conjectural framework for periods on spherical varieties, and does not indicate a resolution.
