  "abstract": "This is a continuation of math.AG/0408274, where we have described the relative movable cone for a Springer resolution of the closure of a nilpotent orbit in a complex simple Lie algebra. But, in general, the movable cone does not coincide with the whole space of numerical classes of divisors on the Springer resolution. The purpose of this paper is, to describe the remainder. We shall first construct a deformation of the nilpotent orbit closure in a canonical manner according to Brieskorn and Slodowy, and next describe all its crepant simultaneous resolutions. This construction enables us to divide the whole space into a finite number of chambers. Moreover, by using this construction, one can generalize the main result of math.AG/0408274 to arbitrary Richardson orbits whose Springer maps have degree > 1. New Mukai flops, different from those of type A,D,E_6, will appear in the birational geometry for such orbits.",
