Conjecture on linear independence of twisted periods with different indices

Let KK be the weight, SKS_K the space of cusp forms under consideration, and r,χr_{\ell,\chi} the twisted period indexed by \ell and a primitive Dirichlet character χ\chi. Let 31<2<<nK423\leq\ell_1<\ell_2<\cdots<\ell_n\leq\frac{K-4}{2} be integers, let D1D\geq1 be an integer, and let χ\chi be a primitive Dirichlet character satisfying χ(1)=(1)i\chi(-1)=(-1)^{\ell_i} for every ii. Different-index twisted-period conjecture. If ndimSKn\leq\dim S_K, then {ri,χ}i=1n\{r_{\ell_i,\chi}\}_{i=1}^{n} is linearly independent. The conjecture predicts that twisted periods with one fixed character and different indices span the relevant dual space; it was verified in the paper for K,D40K,D\leq40 by checking nonsingularity of the associated coefficient matrices.
