Non-realizability of the minimal nilpotent orbit closure of type E₆ as a Hamiltonian reduction

Let OminE6\overline{\mathcal{O}}_\textrm{min}^{E_6} be the closure of the minimal nilpotent orbit of the complex simple Lie algebra of type E6E_6. Let VV be a representation of a reductive complex algebraic group GG, and let the Hamiltonian reduction of TVT^*V by GG be formed with respect to the canonical moment map.

Non-realizability conjecture. The closure OminE6\overline{\mathcal{O}}_\textrm{min}^{E_6} is not isomorphic to any Hamiltonian reduction of the cotangent space TVT^*V of a representation VV by a reductive complex algebraic group GG.

This asserts that the minimal nilpotent orbit closure in type E6E_6 cannot arise from the standard Hamiltonian-reduction construction, distinguishing it from orbit closures that do admit such realizations. The source provides no resolution status for this claim.
