Tanisaki's conjecture on associated varieties of orbital varieties

Let O\mathcal{O} be a special nilpotent orbit, let C\mathscr{C} be the corresponding double cell, and let C/R\mathscr{C}/ {\small \stackrel{R}{\sim}} be the set of right cells contained in C\mathscr{C}. Write Irr(On)\operatorname{Irr}(\overline{\mathcal{O}}\cap \mathfrak{n}) for the irreducible components of On\overline{\mathcal{O}}\cap \mathfrak{n}. Tanisaki's conjecture. There exists a bijection φ\varphi from C/R\mathscr{C}/ {\small \stackrel{R}{\sim}} to Irr(On)\operatorname{Irr}(\overline{\mathcal{O}}\cap \mathfrak{n}), with φ(w)=Yw\varphi(w)=Y_w, and an ordering \prec on this set such that

V(Lw)=YwY~w.V(L_w)=Y_w\cup\widetilde{Y}_w.

Here Y~w\widetilde{Y}_w is a union of orbital varieties V(y)\mathcal{V}(y) satisfying V(y)Yw\mathcal{V}(y)\prec Y_w. The conjecture is used in the paper as part of the study of associated varieties and primitive ideals; the supplied text does not establish its resolution, so its status remains open here.
