Chai–Oort Lie algebra characterization of strongly Tate-linear deformation spaces

Let YY be the object used to define the formally smooth deformation space Defsus(Y)\mathbf{Def}_{\mathrm{sus}}(Y), and let aY\mathfrak{a}_Y be its ambient Lie algebra. Let MZ\mathcal{M}_Z denote the object attached to a closed subspace ZDefsus(Y)Z\xhookrightarrow{}\mathbf{Def}_{\mathrm{sus}}(Y), and let G(MZ)G(\mathcal{M}_Z) be its associated group. For an FF-stable Lie subalgebra baY\mathfrak{b}\subset\mathfrak{a}_Y, let Z(b+)Defsus(Y)Z(\mathfrak{b}^+)\xhookrightarrow{}\mathbf{Def}_{\mathrm{sus}}(Y) be the corresponding strongly Tate-linear subspace. Chai–Oort Lie algebra conjecture. For every closed immersion ZDefsus(Y)Z\xhookrightarrow{}\mathbf{Def}_{\mathrm{sus}}(Y) and every FF-stable Lie subalgebra baY\mathfrak{b}\subset\mathfrak{a}_Y,

ZZ(b+)LieG(MZ)b.Z\subseteq Z(\mathfrak{b}^+)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \operatorname{Lie}G(\mathcal{M}_Z)\subseteq\mathfrak{b}.

In particular,

LieG(MZ(b+))=b.\operatorname{Lie}G(\mathcal{M}_{Z(\mathfrak{b}^+)})=\mathfrak{b}.

The preceding discussion identifies Z(b+)Z(\mathfrak{b}^+) with the deformation space of a trivial torsor and calls it strongly Tate-linear in the sense of Chai--Oort; the supplied excerpt does not establish whether this characterization is proved.
