The solvability conjecture for nilpotent hypercomplex Lie algebras

Let (g,{Jα})(\mathfrak{g}, \{J_{\alpha}\}) be a nilpotent hypercomplex Lie algebra. Here, H\mathbb{H}-solvability means that the descending H\mathbb{H}-central series defined by g0H=g\mathfrak{g}_0^\mathbb{H}=\mathfrak{g} and gkH=H[gk1H,gk1H]\mathfrak{g}_k^\mathbb{H}=\mathbb{H}[\mathfrak{g}_{k-1}^\mathbb{H},\mathfrak{g}_{k-1}^\mathbb{H}] eventually reaches zero. Solvability conjecture. Every nilpotent hypercomplex Lie algebra (g,{Jα})(\mathfrak{g}, \{J_{\alpha}\}) is H\mathbb{H}-solvable. This would establish that nilpotency forces the stronger H\mathbb{H}-solvability property; the preceding discussion notes that the properness of g1H=g1+J1g1+J2g1+J3g1\mathfrak{g}_1^\mathbb{H}=\mathfrak{g}^1+J_1\mathfrak{g}^1+J_2\mathfrak{g}^1+J_3\mathfrak{g}^1 is necessary, but does not resolve the conjecture.
