Strange-orbit conjecture for distinguished partitions in sln{\mathfrak{sl}}_n

For every n⩾3n\geqslant3, let O(λ)⊂sln{\mathcal O}(\boldsymbol{\lambda})\subset{\mathfrak{sl}}_n be the unique nilpotent orbit with

dim⁡O(λ)=dim⁡b+ind b,λ1=3,λ2<3,\dim{\mathcal O}(\boldsymbol{\lambda})=\dim{\mathfrak b}+{\rm ind}\,{\mathfrak b},\qquad \lambda_1=3,\qquad \lambda_2<3,

where b{\mathfrak b} is a Borel subalgebra and λ\boldsymbol{\lambda} is its partition. Strange-orbit conjecture. The orbit O(λ){\mathcal O}(\boldsymbol{\lambda}) is strange, and a complementary subalgebra is a Frobenius parabolic subalgebra of minimal dimension.

The source gives the partitions explicitly for even and odd nn and notes that these orbits are not spherical because λ1>2\lambda_1>2. The conjecture therefore concerns a family of non-spherical strange nilpotent orbits and their complementary subalgebras.
