Ben-Zvi–Sakellaridis–Venkatesh reduced-dual period formula

Let Δ^red=(L^,H^,1,ρ^H^,ι^)\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}}=(\hat{L},\hat{H}',1,\hat{\rho}_{\hat{H}',\hat{\iota}'}), where

ρ^H^,ι^=ρ^H^kI^,  k  oddρ^k.\hat{\rho}_{\hat{H}',\hat{\iota}'}=\hat{\rho}_{\hat{H}'}\oplus\bigoplus_{k\in\hat{I},\;k\;\mathrm{odd}}\hat{\rho}_k.

Let πL\pi_L be a tempered automorphic representation of L(A)L(\mathbb A) and let P(Δ^red)^\mathcal P_{\widehat{(\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}})}} be the associated period. Reduced-dual period formula. For any embedding ν:πLL2(L(k)\L(A))\nu:\pi_L\rightarrow L^2(L(k)\backslash L(\mathbb A)), the period P(Δ^red)^(ϕ)\mathcal P_{\widehat{(\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}})}}(\phi), for ϕIm(ν)\phi\in\operatorname{Im}(\nu), is nonzero only if the Arthur parameter of πL\pi_L factors through H^(C)L^(C)\hat{H}'(\mathbb C)\subset\hat{L}(\mathbb C). In that case, πL\pi_L is a lifting of a tempered Arthur packet Π\Pi of H(A)H'(\mathbb A), and one can choose ν\nu so that

P(Δ^red)^(ϕ)2ϕ,ϕ=L(1/2,Π,ρH^)kI^,  k  oddL(1/2,Π,ρ^k)L(1,Π,ρ^0)L(1,Π,Ad)2.\frac{|\mathcal P_{\widehat{(\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}})}}(\phi)|^2}{\langle\phi,\phi\rangle}=\frac{L(1/2,\Pi,\rho_{\hat{H}'})\prod_{k\in\hat{I},\;k\;\mathrm{odd}}L(1/2,\Pi,\hat{\rho}_k)\cdot L(1,\Pi,\hat{\rho}_0)}{L(1,\Pi,\operatorname{Ad})^2}.

This is obtained in the source by applying the preceding BZSV period conjecture to the reduced dual quadruple; its general validity therefore remains open.
