Connectedness and equidimensionality conjecture for enhanced Springer fibers

About 5 years old · traced to

Let (X,w)∈N‾(X,w)\in\underline{\mathcal{N}} be an enhanced nilpotent element of type λ[q]\lambda[q], and let (Y,u)∈O(X,w)‾(Y,u)\in\overline{\mathcal{O}_{(X,w)}}. The fiber

eπλ[q]−1(Y,u){{}^{\textsf{e}}\hskip-2pt\pi}_{\hskip-2pt\lambda[q]}^{-1}(Y,u)

is the enhanced Springer fiber over (Y,u)(Y,u) associated with the type λ[q]\lambda[q].

Connectedness and equidimensionality conjecture. The fiber eπλ[q]−1(Y,u){{}^{\textsf{e}}\hskip-2pt\pi}_{\hskip-2pt\lambda[q]}^{-1}(Y,u) is connected, and all of its irreducible components have the same dimension.

This proposes an analogue of Spaltenstein's theorem for Springer fibers in the enhanced nilpotent setting. The source presents it as a proposal related to the Achar–Henderson–Jones conjecture that closures of enhanced nilpotent orbits are normal varieties; its resolution is not specified here.
