Wiegold's conjecture for nilpotent Lie algebras

About 7 years old · traced to

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a nilpotent Lie algebra over a field F\mathbb{F}. For an element x∈gx\in\mathfrak{g}, define its breadth b(x)b(x) by

dim⁡g−dim⁡Cg(x)=b(x),\dim\mathfrak{g}-\dim C_{\mathfrak{g}}(x)=b(x),

where Cg(x)C_{\mathfrak{g}}(x) is the Lie centralizer of xx in g\mathfrak{g}. Wiegold's conjecture for nilpotent Lie algebras. If dim⁡g′>n(n−1)/2\dim\mathfrak{g}'>n(n-1)/2 for some non-negative integer nn, then g\mathfrak{g} can be generated by elements of breadth at least nn. This is the Lie algebra analogue of Wiegold's finite-group conjecture, and the paper's stated goal is to prove it.
