Conjectural trace formula for spherical varieties

Let I(f)I(f) be the trace-formula distribution for a test function ff, and let Igeom(f)=mgeom(θf)I_{geom}(f)=m_{geom}(\theta_f) be its geometric expansion. Define Ispec(f)I_{spec}(f) by the cuspidal spectral sum when (G,H)(G,H) is not tempered and by the tempered spectral integral when (G,H)(G,H) is tempered. Trace formula conjecture. The following assertions hold: (1) when (G,H)(G,H) is tempered,

Igeom(f)=I(f)=Ispec(f)I_{geom}(f)=I(f)=I_{spec}(f)

for all fCscusp(G(F),χ)f\in {\mathcal {C}}_{scusp}(G(F),\chi); and (2) when (G,H)(G,H) is not tempered, the same equality holds for all fC(G(F),χ)Cc(G(F),χ)f\in {}^\circ {\mathcal {C}}(G(F),\chi)\cap C_{c}^{\infty}(G(F),\chi). The conjecture is known in the Whittaker, Gan–Gross–Prasad, Ginzburg–Rallis, Galois, and Shalika models, while it remains open in general.
