Wonderful polar resolution conjecture for orbit closures

Let (G,V)(\mathrm{G},V) be a prehomogeneous vector space, let ZVZ\subset V be the closure of an orbit of G\mathrm{G}, and write ZsingZ_{\mathrm{sing}} for its singular locus. For an integer ddimVd\leq\dim V and a generic dd-dimensional linear subspace LG(d,dimV)L\in\mathrm{G}(d,\dim V), let P(Z,L)\mathcal{P}(Z,L) denote the corresponding polar. Wonderful polar resolution conjecture. There exists an integer ddimVd\leq\dim V such that, for a generic LG(d,dimV)L\in\mathrm{G}(d,\dim V), the polar P(Z,L)\mathcal{P}(Z,L) contains ZsingZ_{\mathrm{sing}} and admits a wonderful resolution of singularities.

The conjecture is suggested by the preceding example of a polar whose successive blow-ups along its singular strata give a wonderful resolution. The source gives no further status information.
