Centralizer-centre conjecture for strange nilpotent orbits

From papers

Let GG be an algebraic group with Lie algebra g{\mathfrak g}, let N{\mathcal N} be the nilpotent cone, and let eNe\in{\mathcal N}. Write ge{\mathfrak g}^e for the centraliser of ee and z(ge){\mathfrak z}({\mathfrak g}^e) for its centre. Centralizer-centre conjecture. If GeNG\cdot e\subset{\mathcal N} is strange and ez(ge)e'\in{\mathfrak z}({\mathfrak g}^e), then GeG\cdot e' is strange as well.

The conjecture is intended primarily for non-spherical orbits, since the centre of the centraliser of a spherical orbit is just ke\Bbbk e. Its truth would provide information about strange orbits beyond the spherical case.
