The nilradical containment conjecture for constant-length Killing fields

Let (G/H,g)(G/H,g) be a geodesic orbit Riemannian space, let g=Lie(G)\mathfrak{g}=\operatorname{Lie}(G), and let XgX\in\mathfrak{g} be a Killing field of constant length. Define

A1=Ker(L2),A2=Im(L2),A_1=\operatorname{Ker}(L^2),\qquad A_2=\operatorname{Im}(L^2),

where L=ad(X)L=\operatorname{ad}(X). Let n(g)\mathfrak{n}(\mathfrak{g}) denote the nilradical of g\mathfrak{g}. The nilradical containment conjecture. If XgX\in\mathfrak{g} has constant length on (G/H,g)(G/H,g), then

n(g)A1.\mathfrak{n}(\mathfrak{g})\subset A_1.

The nilradical of the Lie algebra of a geodesic orbit space is known to be commutative or two-step nilpotent, and the stated containment is presented as a consequence suggested by the preceding structural results; no resolution is supplied here.
