Classification conjecture for invariant generalized complex structures on real flag manifolds

Let FΘ=K/KΘ\mathbb{F}_\Theta=K/K_\Theta be a real flag manifold, where KK is the acting compact group and KΘK_\Theta is the isotropy subgroup determined by Θ\Theta. For a root system of type ClC_l, write Θ\Theta as a subset of the simple roots, with λi\lambda_i denoting the standard root-coordinate notation.

Classification conjecture. A real flag manifold FΘ=K/KΘ\mathbb{F}_\Theta=K/K_\Theta admits a KK-invariant generalized complex structure if and only if it is of type ClC_l and

Θ=lbraceλdλd+1,,λl1λl,2λlrbrace\Theta=lbrace \lambda_{d}-\lambda_{d+1},\cdots, \lambda_{l-1}-\lambda_{l}, 2\lambda_{l}rbrace

for d>1d>1 odd.

This gives a proposed complete classification of real flag manifolds carrying invariant generalized complex structures. The supplied parser provides no resolution evidence, so the conjecture remains open.
