Uniqueness of minimal reducing subalgebras for nilpotent elements

Let g\mathfrak g be a semisimple Lie algebra, let fgf\in\mathfrak g be a non-zero nilpotent element, and let s\mathfrak s be an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triple containing ff. A reducing subalgebra for ff in g\mathfrak g is a semisimple subalgebra q\mathfrak q of g\mathfrak g, normalized by s\mathfrak s, such that Z(s)(qgd~)Z(\mathfrak s)(\mathfrak q\cap\mathfrak g_{\tilde d}) contains a non-empty Zariski open subset, where d~\tilde d is the reduced depth of ff and Z(s)Z(\mathfrak s) is the centralizer of s\mathfrak s in the corresponding semisimple algebraic group. Uniqueness conjecture for minimal reducing subalgebras. For any non-zero nilpotent element ff and sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triple s\mathfrak s containing it, there is a unique minimal reducing subalgebra, up to conjugacy by Z(s)Z(\mathfrak s). The conjecture concerns the canonical structure associated with cyclic elements of nilpotent type and remains unresolved in the supplied source context.
