A relative trace formula identity for non-tempered spherical varieties

Abstract

In this paper, motivated by some previous works in residue method and the recent theory of the relative Langlands duality, we prove a relative trace formula identity that compares the period integral of non-tempered spherical varieties with the period integral of a tempered spherical varieties associated to a Levi subgroup. This allows us to incorporate numerous relative trace formula comparisons studied during the last four decades under the relative Langlands duality framework. We will also propose a conjectural comparison for general non-tempered Hamiltonian spaces.
