F.-N.'s deformation conjecture for symplectic resolutions

Let ZZ be a normal symplectic singularity, and let fi:XiZf_i:X_i\to Z, i=1,2i=1,2, be symplectic resolutions. A flat deformation is a flat family over a parameter space TT with central fibre the given resolution or singularity.

F.-N.'s conjecture. There are flat deformations

XiFiZT\mathcal{X}_i\stackrel{F_i}\to\mathcal{Z}\to T

of the resolutions such that, for tT{0}t\in T-\{0\}, the maps Fi,t:Xi,tZtF_{i,t}:\mathcal{X}_{i,t}\to\mathcal{Z}_t are isomorphisms.

This is a formulation of the deformation-equivalence expectation for symplectic resolutions. The paper applies the corresponding idea to nilpotent orbit closures in classical Lie algebras, while the general conjecture is not resolved in the source.
