Weak Premet–Topley conjecture on completely prime primitive ideals and minimal modules

Let gC{\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C} be a reductive Lie algebra over C{\mathbb C} with Chevalley basis B{\mathcal B}, let R=Z[1/qqR={\mathbb Z}[1/q\mid q is a bad prime for Φ]\Phi], and let gR{\mathfrak g}_R and g{\mathfrak g} be the corresponding integral and characteristic-pp forms. Write tR{\mathfrak t}_R for the induced Cartan lattice, GCG_{\mathbb C} and GG for the corresponding reductive groups, and let Lpχ(λ)L_p^\chi(\lambda) denote the reduced Verma-module quotient defined in the setup. For a primitive ideal II of U(gC)U({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C}), call II completely prime when U(gC)/IU({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C})/I is a domain, and write VA(I){{\mathcal V}{\mathcal A}}'(I) for its associated variety. For each nilpotent coadjoint GCG_{\mathbb C}-orbit OC{\mathbb O}_{\mathbb C} in gC{\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C}^{*}, there exists a representative χOC\chi\in{\mathbb O}_{\mathbb C} mapping gR{\mathfrak g}_R into RR, and there exists χ^Gχ\widehat{\chi}\in G\cdot\overline{\chi}, such that, if LL is a minimal-dimensional Uχ^(g)U_{\widehat{\chi}}({\mathfrak g})-module, then there exists λtR\lambda\in{\mathfrak t}_R^{*} satisfying

AnnU(gC)(LC(λ)) is completely prime,\operatorname{Ann}_{U({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C})}(L_{\mathbb C}(\lambda))\text{ is completely prime}, VA(AnnU(gC)(LC(λ)))=GCχ,{{\mathcal V}{\mathcal A}}'(\operatorname{Ann}_{U({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb C})}(L_{\mathbb C}(\lambda)))=\overline{G_{\mathbb C}\cdot\chi},

and LL is a composition factor of Lpχ^(λ)L_p^{\widehat{\chi}}(\lambda). This is presented as a weak version of the conjecture of Premet and Topley. The claim links minimal-dimensional modular representations to integral reductions of complex highest-weight modules with completely prime annihilators and prescribed associated varieties; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied material.
