Slope subalgebra conjecture for finite-type quantum loop groups

Fix a quantum loop group Uq(Lg)U_q(L\mathfrak{g}) associated with a finite-type symmetrisable Cartan matrix, where g\mathfrak{g} is the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra. For mRn\mathbf{m}\in\mathbb{R}^n, let gm\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbf{m}} be the semisimple Lie subalgebra of g\mathfrak{g} generated by the sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triples corresponding to lattice points α\bm{\alpha} satisfying mαZ\mathbf{m}\cdot\bm{\alpha}\in\mathbb{Z}. Let Bm\mathcal{B}_{\mathbf{m}} be the slope subalgebra of Uq(Lg)U_q(L\mathfrak{g}).

Slope subalgebra conjecture. The slope subalgebra Bm\mathcal{B}_{\mathbf{m}} is isomorphic to the quantum group

BmUq(gm).\mathcal{B}_{\mathbf{m}}\cong U_q(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbf{m}}).

The conjecture identifies slope subalgebras with quantum groups of semisimple Lie subalgebras determined by m\mathbf{m}. The source states that this description has been proved using the argument from the quantum toroidal case.
