Abstract:

We show that, for a sheet or a Lusztig stratum $S$ containing spherical conjugacy classes in a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field in good characteristic, the orbit space $S/G$ is isomorphic to the quotient of an affine subvariety of $G$ modulo the action of a finite abelian $2$-group. The affine subvariety is a closed subset of a Bruhat double coset and the abelian group is a finite subgroup of a maximal torus of $G$. We show that sheets of spherical conjugacy classes in a simple group are always smooth and we list which strata containing spherical classes are smooth.
