Density-zero conjecture for central vanishing of elliptic-curve twists

From papers

Let p>2p>2 be a prime, let E/QE/{\mathbb Q} be an elliptic curve, and let Σp\Sigma_p denote the set of Dirichlet characters of order pp. For SΣpS\subset\Sigma_p, say that SS has density α\alpha if

limx#{χSN(χ)<x}#{χΣpN(χ)<x}=α,\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{\#\{\chi\in S\mid N(\chi)<x\}}{\#\{\chi\in\Sigma_p\mid N(\chi)<x\}}=\alpha,

where N(χ)N(\chi) is the conductor of χ\chi. Density-zero conjecture. For every elliptic curve E/QE/{\mathbb Q}, the characters χΣp\chi\in\Sigma_p for which L(E,χ,1)=0L(E,\chi,1)=0 have density 00 in Σp\Sigma_p. This is a standard conjectural input concerning analytic ranks of elliptic-curve twists, used in the paper to support expectations about the Mordell–Weil rank modulo nn not being expressible as a sum of local terms for n>2n>2.
