Problem Statement

A subalgebra h\mathfrak{h} of a Lie algebra g\mathfrak g is said to have the γ\gamma property with respect to a scalar product ,{\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle} given on g{\mathfrak g} if Xh{X \in \mathfrak{h}} implies [X,Y],X=0{\langle [X,Y],X\rangle =0} for all Yg{Y \in \mathfrak g}. Prove that the maximum dimension of γ{\gamma}-property subalgebras of a given 2{2} step nilpotent Lie algebra with respect to a scalar product is independent of the selection of the scalar product.
