Minimal-idempotent reduction conjecture for the Kadison–Singer problem

About 19 years old · traced to

Let GG be a countable discrete group, let βG\beta G be its Stone–Čech compactification, and let ?\boxed{\textstyle\text{?}} be a minimal idempotent, meaning an idempotent point minimal in the relevant semigroup order. Let s?s_{\boxed{\textstyle\text{?}}} be the state associated with ?\boxed{\textstyle\text{?}}.

Minimal-idempotent reduction conjecture. If a minimal idempotent has a unique state extension, then every point has a unique state extension. Thus, for any fixed minimal idempotent ?\boxed{\textstyle\text{?}}, the Kadison–Singer conjecture is true if and only if s?s_{\boxed{\textstyle\text{?}}} has a unique state extension.

This would reduce the global Kadison–Singer problem to checking the extension property for one minimal idempotent, but the source gives no proof or resolution.
