Equality of associated varieties for irreducible highest-weight modules

From papers

Let g\frak g be a contragredient simple Lie superalgebra. For an integral dominant weight λh\lambda\in\frak h^*, let LλL_\lambda be the corresponding irreducible highest-weight module, let kk be the degree of atypicality of λ\lambda, and let Xˉk\bar{X}_k denote the closure of the rank-kk associated-variety stratum. Write XLλX_{L_\lambda} for the associated variety of LλL_\lambda.

Associated-variety conjecture. For any integral dominant λh\lambda\in\frak h^* with degree of atypicality kk,

XLλ=Xˉk.X_{L_\lambda}=\bar{X}_k.

This predicts that the associated variety of every irreducible highest-weight module is determined precisely by the degree of atypicality. The supplied text gives the assertion as a conjecture but provides no resolution status, so it remains open here.
