Adjoint Steinberg conjecture
Adjoint Steinberg conjecture
Let be the relevant reductive group, let denote its center, and let , for , be the fundamental representations under consideration. Two semisimple elements are considered equivalent in each setting up to multiplication by a scalar, and in up to multiplication by an element of . Adjoint Steinberg conjecture. Semisimple elements of are conjugate in up to a multiple of an element in if and only if they are conjugate in up to a constant for . This question is motivated by Steinberg's related conjecture concerning detection of conjugacy by all irreducible rational representations; the claim is known for groups of -type in the cases described in the source, but remains open in general.
