The Slodowy-slice identification for type A Hamiltonian reductions

Let e1,e2ge_1,e_2\in\mathfrak{g} be nilpotent elements, and let m1,m2g\mathfrak{m}_1,\mathfrak{m}_2\subseteq\mathfrak{g} be the subalgebras constructed for a covering pair of nilpotent orbits. Write M2M_2 for the algebraic group associated with m2\mathfrak{m}_2, let χ2\chi_2 be the corresponding character, and let g\sslashχ2M2\mathfrak{g}^*\mathbin{\sslash_{\chi_2}}M_2 denote the Hamiltonian reduction. Slodowy-slice identification conjecture. The reduced space

g\sslashχ2M2\mathfrak{g}^*\mathbin{\sslash_{\chi_2}}M_2

is isomorphic to the Slodowy slice Sχ2\mathcal{S}_{\chi_2} as a Poisson variety. This identification is the classical geometric statement underlying the proposed reduction-by-stages construction for nilpotent orbits; the supplied text does not establish its resolution status.
