Nonvanishing of quadratic twists at the central value

Let KK be a local field of characteristic zero and let LKL_K be its Weil group when KK is archimedean and its Weil–Deligne group when KK is non-archimedean. Let τ0=τ0,v\tau_0=\bigotimes\tau_{0,v} be an irreducible unitary cuspidal automorphic representation of GL2n(A)GL_{2n}(\mathbb{A}) of symplectic type. Say that τ0\tau_0 is good at a place vv if the local Langlands parameter of τ0,v\tau_{0,v} has an irreducible symplectic subrepresentation. Quadratic-twist nonvanishing conjecture. If τ0,v0\tau_{0,v_0} is good at some place v0v_0, then there exists a quadratic character η:A×/F×C×\eta:\mathbb{A}^{\times}/F^{\times}\to\mathbb{C}^{\times} such that

L(12,τ0η)0.L\left(\frac{1}{2},\tau_0\otimes\eta\right)\ne0.

This is proposed as a weak generalization of a theorem on central LL-values and predicts nonvanishing after a suitable quadratic twist; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
