Epsilon dichotomy conjecture for the Ginzburg–Rallis model

Let FF be a local field, let β\beta be a character of F×F^{\times}, and let Π\Pi be an irreducible generic representation of GL6(F)\mathrm{GL}_6(F) with central character β2\beta^2. Let mGR(Π)m_{GR}(\Pi) denote the multiplicity relative to the Ginzburg–Rallis model with character β\beta. Epsilon dichotomy conjecture. One has

mGR(Π)=1    ϵ(1/2,(3Π)β1)=1,m_{GR}(\Pi)=1 \iff \epsilon\bigl(1/2,(\wedge^3\Pi)\otimes\beta^{-1}\bigr)=1,

and

mGR(Π)=0    ϵ(1/2,(3Π)β1)=1.m_{GR}(\Pi)=0 \iff \epsilon\bigl(1/2,(\wedge^3\Pi)\otimes\beta^{-1}\bigr)=-1.

This conjecture predicts that the Ginzburg–Rallis multiplicity is determined by the central epsilon factor of the third exterior-power representation, giving an epsilon dichotomy for generic representations of GL6(F)\mathrm{GL}_6(F).
