The local root-number formula for Sturm-polynomial error terms

From papers

Let K\mathcal K be a local field of characteristic 00, and let f(x)K[x]f(x)\in\mathcal K[x] be separable and monic with f(0)0f(0)\neq0. Define hyperelliptic curves over K\mathcal K by

C1:y2=f(x),C2:y2=xf(x).C_1:y^2=f(x),\qquad C_2:y^2=xf(x).

Let P0,P1,P_0,P_1,\ldots be the Sturm sequence for ff. Assume that degPi=degfi\deg P_i=\deg f-i for i=0,,degfi=0,\ldots,\deg f and that i=0degf1Pi(0)0\prod_{i=0}^{\deg f-1}P_i(0)\neq0.

Local conjecture. Under these hypotheses,

wJacC1/KwJacC2/K=λf,KHf,K.w_{\operatorname{Jac} C_1/\mathcal K}w_{\operatorname{Jac} C_2/\mathcal K}=\lambda_{f,\mathcal K}H_{f,\mathcal K}.

This claim is presented as a conjecture based on experimental data and concerns a local formula relating Jacobian root numbers to the factors λf,K\lambda_{f,\mathcal K} and Hf,KH_{f,\mathcal K}. The supplied text does not state whether it has since been proved or disproved.
