Non-realizability of the minimal nilpotent orbit closure of type E₆ as a Hamiltonian reduction
Let be the closure of the minimal nilpotent orbit of the complex simple Lie algebra of type . Let be a representation of a reductive complex algebraic group , and let the Hamiltonian reduction of by be formed with respect to the canonical moment map.
Non-realizability conjecture. The closure is not isomorphic to any Hamiltonian reduction of the cotangent space of a representation by a reductive complex algebraic group .
This asserts that the minimal nilpotent orbit closure in type 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.
