Lapid–Mao conjecture on Whittaker and L2L^2 normalizations for GSp4\mathrm{GSp}_4

From papers

Let G=GSp4G=\mathrm{GSp}_4, let π=vπv\pi=\otimes_v\pi_v be an irreducible, unitary, cuspidal, generic automorphic representation of G(A)G(\mathbb A) with trivial central character, and let ϕ=vϕv\phi=\otimes_v\phi_v be a factorizable vector in its space. Let g0=(g0,v)vG(A)g_0=(g_{0,v})_v\in G(\mathbb A), and let SS contain the archimedean place such that, for every pSp\notin S, πp\pi_p and ϕp\phi_p are unramified and g0,pKpg_{0,p}\in K_p. Lapid–Mao conjecture. Then

Wϕ(g0)2ϕ,ϕ=2cζS(2)ζ(S)(4)LS(1,π,Ad)vSJ0(g0,vϕv),\frac{|W_\phi(g_0)|^2}{\langle\phi,\phi\rangle}=2^{-c}\frac{\zeta^{S}(2)\zeta^{(S)}(4)}{L^{S}(1,\pi,\operatorname{Ad})}\prod_{v\in S}J_0(g_{0,v}\cdot\phi_v),

where J0(g0,vϕv)J_0(g_{0,v}\cdot\phi_v) is the local normalized factor, LS(1,π,Ad)L^{S}(1,\pi,\operatorname{Ad}) is the degree-1010 adjoint LL-function with the factors in SS omitted, and

c={1if π is of general type,2if π is endoscopic.c=\begin{cases}1&\text{if $\pi$ is of general type,}\\2&\text{if $\pi$ is endoscopic.}\end{cases}

This conjecture gives an explicit relation between arithmetic/Whittaker normalization and L2L^2 normalization of globally generic cuspidal automorphic forms. The supplied context attributes it to Lapid and Mao, but provides no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
