The reducedness conjecture for affine Grassmannian slices

Let GG be a complex semisimple group and let μλ\mu\leq\lambda be dominant coweights. Write Grμλ=GrμGrλ\mathcal{G}r_\mu^\lambda=\mathcal{G}r_\mu\cap\overline{\mathcal{G}r^\lambda} for the transversal slice, and let JμλO(Grμ)J_\mu^\lambda\subset\mathcal{O}(\mathcal{G}r_\mu) be the explicitly defined Poisson ideal whose vanishing locus is Grμλ\mathcal{G}r_\mu^\lambda. Let Xμλ\mathcal{X}_\mu^\lambda be the possibly non-reduced scheme defined by JμλJ_\mu^\lambda. Reducedness conjecture. The ideal of Grμλ\mathcal{G}r_\mu^\lambda is JμλJ_\mu^\lambda. Equivalently, Xμλ\mathcal{X}_\mu^\lambda is reduced. The conjecture concerns whether the explicitly defined scheme structure on every transversal slice has no nilpotents. The paper's abstract states that this conjecture is proved in type A, while the supplied statement is presented without a broader resolution.
