Taketomi–Tamaru conjecture on congruent automorphism orbits and Ricci solitons

Let l\mathfrak{l} be an nn-dimensional Lie algebra, and let LL be the connected and simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra l\mathfrak{l}. The group R×Aut(l)\mathbb{R}^{\times}\operatorname{Aut}(\mathfrak{l}) acts on O(n)\GLn(R)O(n)\backslash GL_n(\mathbb{R}) from the right. Taketomi–Tamaru's conjecture. If this action is not transitive, while all R×Aut(l)\mathbb{R}^{\times}\operatorname{Aut}(\mathfrak{l})-orbits are congruent to one another with respect to GLn(R)GL_n(\mathbb{R}), then LL does not admit left-invariant Ricci solitons. The claim was proposed by Taketomi and Tamaru and exhibited examples were given in which it holds; however, the stated conjecture is false, because Jablonski gave a counterexample.
