Podestà–Zuddas conjecture on invariant Bismut-parallel metrics on complex flag manifolds

Let (G/H,J)(G/H,J) be a complex flag manifold with JJ a fixed GG-invariant complex structure, and let a GG-invariant BTP metric mean a GG-invariant Hermitian metric whose Bismut torsion is parallel. Let gog_o denote the standard metric.

Podestà–Zuddas conjecture. Every GG-invariant BTP metric on (G/H,J)(G/H,J) is either a Kähler metric or a multiple of the standard metric gog_o.

The conjecture generalizes the known classification for flag manifolds with at most two isotropy summands and for complex full flag manifolds of the form SU(n+1)/TnSU(n+1)/T^n. In the supplied paper it is introduced as a conjecture to be proved, so its status in the source context is open.
