Centralizer-centre conjecture for strange nilpotent orbits

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let GG be an algebraic group with Lie algebra g{\mathfrak g}, let N{\mathcal N} be the nilpotent cone, and let e∈Ne\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 G⋅e⊂NG\cdot e\subset{\mathcal N} is strange and e′∈z(ge)e'\in{\mathfrak z}({\mathfrak g}^e), then G⋅e′G\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.
