The commutative 2-cocycle conjecture for classical Lie algebras in characteristic 3

Let LL be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of classical type over a field of characteristic 33, with Lesl(2)L e sl(2). A commutative 22-cocycle is a symmetric bilinear form satisfying the commutative 22-cocycle identity, and a symmetric bilinear invariant form is a symmetric bilinear form invariant under the Lie bracket.

Commutative 2-cocycle conjecture. The space of commutative 22-cocycles on LL coincides with the space of symmetric bilinear invariant forms and is therefore 11-dimensional, assuming the preceding one-dimensionality conjecture.

This is intended to describe commutative 22-cocycles for classical Lie algebras in characteristic 33, where trace forms can vanish and the usual Killing-form argument does not apply. The source presents the claim as supported by computer calculations; its status is otherwise unresolved in the supplied text.
