Matsuki–Gindikin conjecture on domains associated with flag-manifold orbits

Let GCG_\mathbb C be a connected complex semisimple Lie group, let GRG_\mathbb R be a connected real form, and let KCK_\mathbb C be the complexification of a maximal compact subgroup of GRG_\mathbb R. Let X=GC/PX=G_\mathbb C/P be a flag manifold that is not KCK_\mathbb C-homogeneous. For each KCK_\mathbb C-orbit SS on XX, let C(S)C(S) be the associated GRG_\mathbb R-KCK_\mathbb C-invariant subset of GCG_\mathbb C, and let C(S)0C(S)_0 denote its connected component containing the identity. Let DD be the Akhiezer–Gindikin domain.

Matsuki–Gindikin conjecture. For every KCK_\mathbb C-orbit SS of nonholomorphic type on XX, one has

C(S)0=D.C(S)_0=D.

The conjecture concerns the equivalence of domains arising from duality between KCK_\mathbb C- and GRG_\mathbb R-orbits on flag manifolds. The source states that it was already proved for closed and open orbits, for the remaining orbits when GRG_\mathbb R is of non-Hermitian type, and, in this paper, for arbitrary non-closed orbits when GRG_\mathbb R is of Hermitian type; thus it is completely solved affirmatively.
