Brough–Eick conjecture on contact and Hamiltonian algebra quotients

Let F\mathbb F be a field of characteristic 22. Let nNn\in\mathbb N be odd, mNnm\in\mathbb N^n, and set K=K(n,m)K=K(n,m). Write KK' for the derived algebra and N(K)N(K') for its relevant maximal nilpotent ideal; likewise write N(H)N(H) for the corresponding ideal of H=H(n1,(m1,,mn1))H=H(n-1,(m_1,\ldots,m_{n-1})). Brough–Eick's quotient-isomorphism conjecture. The quotient K/N(K)K'/N(K') is simple and isomorphic to H/N(H)H/N(H):

K/N(K)H/N(H),H=H(n1,(m1,,mn1)).K'/N(K')\cong H/N(H),\qquad H=H(n-1,(m_1,\ldots,m_{n-1})).

The conjecture is based on computational evidence and concerns the expected simple Hamiltonian quotient associated with each odd-dimensional contact algebra.
