Integrality conjecture for Fourier transforms of nilpotent coadjoint orbits

Let GG be a reductive Lie group, let g\mathfrak{g} be its Lie algebra, and let Og\mathcal{O}\subset \mathfrak{g}^* be a nilpotent coadjoint orbit. Let HGH\subset G be a Cartan subgroup, let h=Lie(H)\mathfrak{h}'=\operatorname{Lie}(H)', and let ChC\subset \mathfrak{h}' be a connected component of the regular set. Let Δ\Delta be the roots of gC\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb{C}} with respect to hC\mathfrak{h}_{\mathbb{C}}, choose a set of positive roots Δ+\Delta^+, and let π\pi be the product of the roots in Δ+\Delta^+. The author's integrality conjecture.

πO^CZ[Δ].\pi\widehat{\mathcal{O}}|_C\in \mathbb{Z}[\Delta].

The conjecture asks whether the Fourier transforms of nilpotent coadjoint orbits satisfy an integrality condition analogous to the integer linear combinations appearing in the paper's formula. A related result states that leading terms of irreducible character expansions are nonnegative linear combinations of Fourier transforms of nilpotent coadjoint orbits; the conjecture asserts integrality after multiplication by the product of positive roots.
