Relative trace formula comparison for BZSV periods

Let Q=LUQ=LU be a parabolic subgroup of GG, let NLN_L be a maximal unipotent subgroup of LL, set N=NLUN=N_LU, and let ξL\xi_L be a generic character of [NL][N_L], extended trivially across UU. For Schwartz functions ff on G(A)G(\mathbb A) and ff' on L(A)L(\mathbb A), let I(f)I(f) be the relative trace formula using the Δ\Delta-period and the (N,ξL)(N,\xi_L)-period, and let J(f)J(f') be the relative trace formula using the (Δ^red)^\widehat{(\hat{\Delta}_{\mathrm{red}})}-period and the (NL,ξL)(N_L,\xi_L)-period. Relative trace formula comparison. There should be a character χ\chi of LL, depending on Δ\Delta, such that

I(f)=J(Fχ(f))I(f)=J(\mathcal F_\chi(f'))

for all fS(G(A))f\in\mathcal S(G(\mathbb A)) that is locally LL-supercuspidal. This comparison is proposed as a way to relate the two period problems and is known in the source only in selected special cases, including some polarized examples.
