Conjecture on the E_7 Weisfeiler graded Lie algebra in characteristic two

About 8 years old · traced to

Let p=2p=2, and let g\mathfrak{g} be of type E7E_7 with maximal subalgebra M7M_7 and M7M_7-invariant subspace L−1′L'_{-1} as in Theorem none7p2. For the Weisfeiler filtration F\mathcal{F} associated with (L−1′,M7)(L'_{-1},M_7), let G\mathcal{G} be the corresponding graded Lie algebra and let G‾\overline{\mathcal{G}} denote its quotient by the Weisfeiler radical. The E_7 Weisfeiler conjecture. One has

psl(4)⊗O(3;1‾)⊂G‾⊆(sp(6)⊗O(3;1‾))⋊(1psl4⊗W(3;1‾)).\mathfrak{psl}(4)\otimes\mathcal{O}(3;\underline{1})\subset\overline{\mathcal{G}}\subseteq\bigl(\mathfrak{sp}(6)\otimes\mathcal{O}(3;\underline{1})\bigr)\rtimes\bigl(1_{\mathfrak{psl}_4}\otimes W(3;\underline{1})\bigr).

The claim is supported by the paper’s analysis of the degree-zero derivations and dimensions, but remains conjectural in the supplied text.
