Local root-number formula for C2D4 curves

Let KK be a local field of characteristic 00, and let C/KC/K be a C2D4 curve with invariants P\mathcal{P}, Δ\Delta, wJacC/Kw_{\operatorname{Jac} C/K}, λC/K\lambda_{C/K}, and EC/KE_{C/K} as defined in the source. Assume P0\mathcal{P}\neq0 and Δ0\Delta\neq0.

Local root-number formula. The local root number of the Jacobian satisfies

wJacC/K=λC/KEC/K.w_{\operatorname{Jac} C/K}=\lambda_{C/K}\cdot E_{C/K}.

This gives an explicit local formula intended to support the parity analysis for abelian surfaces. The supplied context does not establish whether the displayed assertion is conjectural or prove its status.
