Integral period relations conjecture for Hilbert base change

Let FF be the totally real field of degree dd, let ff be a normalized newform and fFf_F its normalized holomorphic base change. For ϵWF^\epsilon\in\widehat{W_F}, let d+d^+ and dd^- be the cardinalities of the sets of embeddings on which ϵ\epsilon has values +1+1 and 1-1, respectively, so that d++d=dd^++d^-=d. Let ΩfFϵ\Omega_{f_F}^\epsilon be the ϵ\epsilon-period of fFf_F, and let Ωf+\Omega_f^+ and Ωf\Omega_f^- be the periods of ff. Integral period relations conjecture. If pp is prime to the discriminant of FF and to 6NφF(N)6N\varphi_F(N), then

ΩfFϵ(Ωf+)d+(Ωf)d.\Omega_{f_F}^\epsilon\sim (\Omega_f^+)^{d^+}(\Omega_f^-)^{d^-}.

This predicts that the integral periods of the base-change form factor into powers of the two periods of the original modular form. The source does not state a resolution, although it later uses the relation to motivate further conjectures.
