Abstract: The description of irreducible representations of a group G can be seen as a question in harmonic analysis; namely, decomposing a suitable space of functions on G into irreducibles for the action of G x G by left and right multiplication. For a split p-adic reductive group G over a local non-archimedean field, unramified irreducible smooth representations are in bijection with semisimple conjugacy classes in the ``Langlands dual group. We generalize this description to an arbitrary spherical variety X of G as follows: Irreducible unramified quotients of the space Ccinfty(X) are in natural ``almost bijection with a number of copies of AX/WX, the quotient of a complex torus by the ``little Weyl group of X. This leads to a description of the Hecke module of unramified vectors (a weak analog of geometric results of Gaitsgory and Nadler), and an understanding of the phenomenon that representations ``distinguished by certain subgroups are functorial lifts. In the course of the proof, rationality properties of spherical varieties are examined and a new interpretation is given for the action, defined by F. Knop, of the Weyl group on the set of Borel orbits.
