Abstract
For the group we perform a comparison between two relative trace formulas: On the one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient , where is a nontrivial torus, and on the other the Kuznetsov trace formula (involving Whittaker periods), applied to nonstandard test functions. This gives a new proof of the celebrated result of Waldspurger on toric periods, and suggests a new way of comparing trace formulas, with some analogies to Langlands' 'Beyond Endoscopy' program.
