BZSV global numerical conjecture for periods on spherical varieties

From papers

Let GG be a reductive group, let HH be a subgroup equipped with a homomorphism ρH\boldsymbol{\rho}_H as in the BZSV setting, and let ι\iota determine the dual homomorphism

ι^:H^(C)×SL2(C)G^(C).\widehat{\iota}^{\prime}:\widehat{H}^{\prime}(\mathbb{C})\times \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\to\widehat{G}(\mathbb{C}).

For an irreducible automorphic representation π\pi of G(A)G(\mathbb{A}), let PH,ι,ρH(φ)\mathcal{P}_{H,\iota,\rho_H}(\varphi) denote the associated period integral, and let Π\Pi be the relevant global Arthur parameter. BZSV global numerical conjecture. The period integral PH,ι,ρH(φ)\mathcal{P}_{H,\iota,\rho_H}(\varphi) is nonzero only if the Arthur parameter of π\pi factors through ι^\widehat{\iota}^{\prime}. If this holds and π\pi is a lifting of a global tempered Arthur packet of H(A)H^{\prime}(\mathbb{A}), then

PH,ι,ρH(φ)2φ,φ="L(12,Π,ρH^)kI^L(k2+1,Π,ρ^k)L(1,Π,Ad)2.\frac{|\mathcal{P}_{H,\iota,\rho_H}(\varphi)|^2}{\langle\varphi,\varphi\rangle} “=" \frac{\displaystyle L\left(\frac{1}{2},\Pi,\rho_{\widehat{H}^{\prime}}\right)\cdot\prod_{k\in\widehat{I}}L\left(\frac{k}{2}+1,\Pi,\widehat{\rho}_k\right)}{L(1,\Pi,\operatorname{Ad})^2}.

Here ,\langle\,,\,\rangle denotes a certain version of the L2L^2-norm. This is the numerical, or classical Langlands, form of the BZSV conjecture and predicts both the support of the period and its value in terms of special LL-values. The displayed identity is stated conjecturally in the source; the paper verifies cases of the broader BZSV framework, but no resolution of this numerical conjecture is supplied here.
