Two-step nilpotent minimal-graph-admissibility conjecture

From papers

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a finite-dimensional kk-step nilpotent Lie algebra. Nilpotent minimal-graph-admissibility conjecture. If k2k\leq 2, then g\mathfrak{g} is minimal-graph-admissible; if k>2k>2, then g\mathfrak{g} is not necessarily minimal-graph-admissible, and there exist kk-step nilpotent Lie algebras that fail to be minimal-graph-admissible. The motivation is that adjoint actions commute in the two-step case, whereas this need not hold for three-step nilpotent Lie algebras; the conjecture remains open.
