Abstract

In the 1980s B\"ocherer formulated a conjecture relating the central values of the imaginary quadratic twists of the spin L-function attached to a Siegel modular form FF to the Fourier coefficients of FF. This conjecture has been proved when FF is a lift. More recently, we formulated an analogous conjecture for paramodular forms FF of prime level, even weight and in the plus-space. In this paper, we examine generalizations of this conjecture. In particular, our new formulations relax the conditions on FF and allow for twists by real characters. Moreover, these formulation are more explicit than the earlier version. We prove the conjecture in the case of lifts and provide numerical evidence in the case of nonlifts.
