Conjecture on self-annihilating invariance vector fields for Lie–Poisson systems

Let the space P\mathcal{P} coincide with the dual space of a Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}, and let the Poisson brackets { }1\{\,\ \}_1 coincide with the standard Lie–Poisson brackets on g\mathfrak{g}^*. An invariance vector field is a vector field satisfying

Z(qi)=Z(pi)=0,i{1,,n}.Z(q_i)=Z(p_i)=0,\qquad i\in\{1,\dots,n\}.

Self-annihilating invariance-vector-field conjecture. Among the invariance vector fields there exists a special vector field ZZ which, acting in the system of natural Lie-algebraic coordinates, namely the linear coordinate functions on g\mathfrak{g}^*, annihilates its own components.

This conjecture concerns the existence of a particularly normalized invariance vector field in the Lie–Poisson setting. The supplied text gives no evidence of a proof or disproof, so its resolution remains open.
