Conjecture on Fano complex contact manifolds with second Betti number one

Let YY be a Fano complex contact manifold with second Betti number b2=1b_2=1. For a simple Lie group GG, let g\mathfrak{g} denote its Lie algebra, and let GG act on the projective space P(g)\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{g}) by the adjoint action. Fano contact manifold conjecture. YY is a homogeneous variety that is the unique closed orbit of the adjoint action of some simple Lie group GG on P(g)\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{g}). This is a classification conjecture for the remaining case in the structure theory of complex contact manifolds after the numerically effective canonical-divisor case has been excluded. The source does not provide evidence of resolution.
