The infinitude conjecture for observable non-reductive subgroups

About 26 years old · traced to

Let GG be an algebraic group and H⊆GH\subseteq G an observable subgroup. Write W(H)=NG(H)/HW(H)=N_G(H)/H for the corresponding quotient of the normalizer. The subgroup HH is reductive if it has trivial unipotent radical. Infinitude conjecture. If HH is observable but not reductive, then W(H)W(H) is infinite. This conjecture would characterize a structural feature of quasiaffine but non-affine homogeneous spaces beyond the reductive case; the source gives no resolution.
