Abstract
We give an account of recent works on Jacquet-Rallis’ approach to the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary groups. We report on the present state of the Jacquet-Rallis relative trace formulae and on some current applications of it. We give also a precise computation of the constant that appears in the statement “Fourier transform and transfer commute up to a constant”.

Notes
Since it may be a source of confusion, we emphasize that it is f(a, t) in the expression below and not f(t, a).
For a better result see the very recent preprint [10].
