Sakellaridis–Venkatesh weak local conjecture for spherical varieties

Let Y=H\GY=H\backslash G be a strongly tempered spherical variety over a local field FF. Let GYG_Y^\vee be the dual group of YY, let f:GY×SL2(C)Gf:G_Y^\vee\times\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\to G^\vee be the associated morphism, and let μGYPL\mu_{G_Y}^{\mathrm{PL}} be the Plancherel measure on GYG_Y^\vee-conjugacy classes of tempered Langlands parameters. A YY-distinguished Arthur parameter is a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{&G_Y^\vee\times\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\ar[dr]^f&\L_F\times\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\ar[rr]^\psi\ar[ur]^{(\phi,\operatorname{id})}&&G^\vee}

with ψ\psi an Arthur parameter and ϕ:LFGY\phi:L_F\to G_Y^\vee a tempered Langlands parameter. Weak local conjecture. There is a direct-integral decomposition

L2(Y(F))[ψ]H[ψ]dμGYPL([ψ]),L^2(Y(F))\simeq\int_{[\psi]}\mathcal{H}_{[\psi]}\,d\mu_{G_Y}^{\mathrm{PL}}([\psi]),

where [ψ][\psi] runs over GYG_Y^\vee-conjugacy classes of YY-distinguished Arthur parameters and H[ψ]\mathcal{H}_{[\psi]} is isomorphic to a possibly empty direct sum of irreducible representations in the Arthur packet of [ψ][\psi]. This conjecturally describes the Plancherel decomposition of a spherical variety in terms of distinguished Arthur parameters; the source gives no resolution status.
