Lusztig's quotient conjecture for special pieces
Lusztig's quotient conjecture for special pieces
Let be the Lie algebra of an exceptional simple algebraic group, let be a special nilpotent orbit, and let be its special piece. Let be the finite group arising in the quotient description of special pieces. Lusztig's quotient conjecture. Each special piece is isomorphic to the quotient of a smooth variety by :
For classical types, Kraft and Procesi proved the analogous stronger quotient description by an elementary abelian -group. The conjecture concerns exceptional Lie algebras and is described as matching the quotient construction obtained from the natural complement to .
