Local Prym parity product formula for genus 2 and 3 curves

Let CC be a curve of genus 22 or 33 over a number field KK, with an unramified double cover

π ⁣:DC\pi\colon D\to C

and associated Prym variety Prym(D/C)\operatorname{Prym}(D/C) over KK. Let λC/Kv,ϕv\lambda_{C/K_v,\phi_v} denote the local factors associated with the relevant isogeny at each place vv, and let wJacC/Kvw_{\operatorname{Jac} C/K_v} and wPrym(D/C)/Kvw_{\operatorname{Prym}(D/C)/K_v} be the corresponding root numbers. Local Prym parity product formula. One has

vλC/Kv,ϕvwJacC/KvwPrym(D/C)/Kv=1.\prod_v \lambda_{C/K_v,\phi_v}\cdot w_{\operatorname{Jac} C/K_v}\cdot w_{\operatorname{Prym}(D/C)/K_v}=1.

Together with the paper’s local theorem, this formula would imply the parity conjecture for product abelian varieties of the form Jac(C)×Prym(D/C)\operatorname{Jac}(C)\times\operatorname{Prym}(D/C). Its validity is proposed in the source and remains open there.
