Stable-vector embedding conjecture for dual Vinberg representations of type F4F_4

Let G\mathcal{G} be a group of type F4F_4, let x0x_0 be the point used to define the dual Vinberg representations, let hh be the Coxeter number of G\mathcal{G}, and for each positive integer mm set

xm=x0+1mρˇ.x_m=x_0+\frac{1}{m}\check\rho.

For mhm\mid h, let

ιm:VˇxhVˇxm\iota_m:\check{\mathcal{V}}_{x_h}\hookrightarrow\check{\mathcal{V}}_{x_m}

be the natural embedding, and let f\mathfrak f be the residue field with characteristic char(f)\operatorname{char}(\mathfrak f). Stable-vector embedding conjecture. If vVˇxhv\in\check{\mathcal{V}}_{x_h} is stable for the action of Gxh\mathcal{G}_{x_h}, then ιm(v)\iota_m(v) is stable for the action of Gxm\mathcal{G}_{x_m} if and only if

char(f)hm.\operatorname{char}(\mathfrak f)\nmid\frac{h}{m}.

The conjecture predicts exactly when stability survives the natural embedding from the representation at xhx_h to that at xmx_m; the paper reports that all known examples satisfy it, while small-characteristic failures of stability can occur and a general proof is not supplied.
