Symplectic Pfaffian conjecture for spherical dual representations

From papers

Let X=G/HX=G/H be an affine homogeneous spherical variety with abelian regular centralizers and no type NN roots. Let SXS_X be the corresponding symplectic representation of GXG_X^\vee, let dρ:gXsp(SX)d\rho:\mathfrak g_X^\vee\to\mathfrak{sp}(S_X) be the induced Lie-algebra map, and let det\det be the determinant function on sp(SX)\mathfrak{sp}(S_X). Symplectic Pfaffian conjecture. There exists a function PfX\mathrm{Pf}_X on gX\mathfrak g_X^\vee, unique up to sign, such that

dρ(det)=(PfX)2.d\rho^*(\det)=(\mathrm{Pf}_X)^2.

The paper verifies this in the polarized case and in examples, while the general assertion is presented as a conjecture.
