Smallest Dirac-eigenvalue contribution for even-dimensional spin Grassmannians

Let G2k,2=SO(2(k+))/(SO(2k)×SO(2))G_{2k,2\ell}=SO(2(k+\ell))/(SO(2k)\times SO(2\ell)) be the even-dimensional spin Grassmannian, and let λ\lambda denote a weight occurring in the spinor-bundle decomposition. Smallest-contribution conjecture. The smallest contribution to the eigenspace corresponding to the smallest eigenvalue of the squared Dirac operator on G2k,2G_{2k,2\ell} is given by

λ0=(k+1,(1)2,(2)2,,12,0).\lambda^0=(\ell^{k-\ell+1},(\ell-1)^2,(\ell-2)^2,\ldots,1^2,0).

This is a more specific claim about the least contribution to the lowest Dirac eigenspace, following the displayed necessary norm condition; the parser supplies no evidence that it has been resolved.
