Bounded-support conjecture for the restricted Weyl group action

From papers

Let g\mathfrak{g} be any simple real Lie algebra of rank rr, and let λQh+\lambda\in Q\cap\mathfrak{h}^+ be a dominant weight, written in the basis of fundamental weights as

λ=i=1rciϖi.\lambda=\sum_{i=1}^r c_i\varpi_i.

Suppose that the space VλlV_\lambda^\mathfrak{l} of l\mathfrak{l}-invariant vectors is nonzero. Bounded-support conjecture. The restriction of the longest Weyl group element satisfies

w0Vλl=±Id{\left.w_0\right|}_{V_\lambda^\mathfrak{l}}=\pm\operatorname{Id}

only when at most 33 of the coordinates cic_i are nonzero. This conjecture generalizes the corresponding statement in the split case, where the bound is 11. The evidence described in the source is experimental, based on computations for sufficiently low-dimensional representations and sufficiently low-rank simple Lie algebras; the general assertion remains open.
