The local Plancherel density conjecture for the basic function

Let FF be a split non-Archimedean local field with ring of integers o\mathfrak o, and let XX be an affine spherical variety with a good model over o\mathfrak o, satisfying the injectivity assumption AˇXAˇ\check A_X\to\check A. Let Φ0\Phi_0 be its basic function, and let AˇX1/WX\check A_X^1/W_X denote the unramified parameter space. Local Plancherel density conjecture. There is a representation

ρX:LGXGL(VX)\rho_X:{^LG_X}\to\operatorname{GL}(V_X)

such that, with LX(ϕ)=L(ϕ,ρX,0)L_X(\phi)=L(\phi,\rho_X,0), the Plancherel decomposition is

Φ02=AˇX1/WXLX(ϕ)L(ϕ,gˇX,1)μGˇX(ϕ).\lVert\Phi_0\rVert^2=\int_{\check A_X^1/W_X}\frac{L_X(\phi)}{L(\phi,\check{\mathfrak g}_X,1)}\,\mu_{\check G_X}(\phi).

This predicts that the basic function’s Plancherel density is governed by a special value of the local LL-function attached to ρX\rho_X; the source presents it as an important open problem, especially beyond the unramified setting.
