Batyrev's conjecture on K-orbits and the valuation cone

Let G/HG/H be a spherical homogeneous space, let KK be a maximal compact subgroup of GG, and let VG/H\mathcal{V}_{G/H} be the valuation cone. For each face σ\sigma of VG/H\mathcal{V}_{G/H}, let XσX_\sigma denote the corresponding boundary face of the stratification of K\G/HK\backslash G/H. Batyrev's conjecture. The space K\G/HK\backslash G/H is a stratified manifold with corners whose boundary faces XσX_\sigma are in natural bijection with the faces σ\sigma of VG/H\mathcal{V}_{G/H}; the stabilizers of points in the relative interior of XσX_\sigma are maximal compact subgroups in the corresponding satellite subgroup of HH. Moreover, there is a homeomorphism of stratified spaces

Φ:VG/HK\G/H\Phi:\mathcal{V}_{G/H}\to K\backslash G/H

that restricts, for every face σVG/H\sigma\subset\mathcal{V}_{G/H}, to a homeomorphism between the relative interiors of σ\sigma and XσX_\sigma. The conjecture proposes a precise relation between the compact orbit space and the valuation cone, supported in the paper by examples but not established in general.
