Shallow minimal reduction type conjecture

Let WW be the Weyl group and W\underline W its set of conjugacy classes. Let N\underline{\mathcal N} be the set of nilpotent orbits, and let

RTmin:WN\operatorname{RT}_{\min}:\underline W\to\underline{\mathcal N}

be the map defined from generic minimal reduction types. For [w]W[w]\in\underline W, let (Lg)[w]sh(L^{\heartsuit}\mathfrak g)^{\mathrm{sh}}_{[w]} denote the shallow stratum of elements of type [w][w].

Shallow minimal reduction type conjecture. For every [w]W[w]\in\underline W,

RTmin(g)={RTmin([w])}\operatorname{RT}_{\min}(\mathfrak g)=\{\operatorname{RT}_{\min}([w])\}

for all g(Lg)[w]sh\mathfrak g\in(L^{\heartsuit}\mathfrak g)^{\mathrm{sh}}_{[w]}. This is stated as a weaker version of the conjecture that all minimal reduction-type sets are singletons; its status is not resolved by the supplied material.
