The type A reduced W-algebra identification conjecture

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a Lie algebra, let m2g\mathfrak{m}_2\subseteq\mathfrak{g} be the subalgebra associated with a nilpotent element e2e_2, and let χ2\chi_2 be its character. Denote the corresponding quantum Hamiltonian reduction by

U(g)\sslashχ2m2.U(\mathfrak{g})\mathbin{\sslash_{\chi_2}}\mathfrak{m}_2.

Reduced W-algebra identification conjecture. The reduced algebra is isomorphic to the W-algebra U(g,e2)U(\mathfrak{g},e_2):

U(g)\sslashχ2m2U(g,e2).U(\mathfrak{g})\mathbin{\sslash_{\chi_2}}\mathfrak{m}_2\simeq U(\mathfrak{g},e_2).

This is the quantum counterpart of the corresponding classical reduction of Slodowy slices and is intended to identify the intermediate reduction obtained by the two-stage construction; the supplied text gives no evidence resolving its status.
