Canonical truncation conjecture for parabolic contractions in type C

About 6 years old · traced to

Let q⁡C\operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C be a parabolic contraction in type CC, and let q⁡ΛC\operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C_\Lambda denote its canonical truncation. Write (q⁡C)′(\operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C)' for the derived algebra, and let (πC)′(\pi^C)' be the corresponding subset of simple roots. Canonical truncation conjecture. One has

q⁡ΛC=(q⁡C)′.\operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C_\Lambda=(\operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C)'.

In particular, for a standard parabolic contraction,

ind⁡q⁡ΛC=ind⁡q⁡C+Card⁡((πC)∖(πC)′).\operatorname{ind} \operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C_\Lambda=\operatorname{ind} \operatorname{\mathfrak{q}}^C+\operatorname{Card}\left((\pi^C)\setminus(\pi^C)'\right).

This predicts that canonical truncation is obtained simply by passing to the derived algebra in type CC, with the stated index correction in the standard case. The supplied text reports this as a conjecture based on recurring results and computations; no resolution is given.
