Let \(G\) be a connected reductive linear algebraic group. \textit{G. Lusztig} [Prog. Math. 312, 333--363 (2015; Zbl 1343.20050)] has defined a decomposition of \(G\) into certain \textit{strata} indexed by subsets of the Weyl group of \(G\). The paper under review proves that in good characteristic (including characteristic zero), these strata are in fact unions of sheets of conjugacy classes. (Recall that the \textit{sheets} for the action of \(G\) on a variety \(X\) are the irreducible component of the locally closed subsets \(X_{(d)}:=\{x \in X \mid \dim G\cdot x = d\}\).) The paper contains a combinatorial description of the strata which contain spherical sheets (i.e., those which contain a spherical conjugacy class) and, in an appendix, examples are given examples which show that the closure of a stratum is not necessarily a union of strata.
