Elashvili's index conjecture for centralizers of reductive Lie algebras
Elashvili's index conjecture for centralizers of reductive Lie algebras
Let be a reductive Lie algebra, and let denote the centralizer of . Write for the index of a Lie algebra and for the rank of . Elashvili's conjecture.
The conjecture predicts that every coadjoint centralizer of a reductive Lie algebra has index equal to the rank of the original algebra. It is motivated by the argument shift method and its relation to algebraically independent Poisson-commuting functions on coadjoint orbits; the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
