Abstract: Let G be connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and suppose that p is a good prime for the root system of G, the derived subgroup of G is simply connected and the Lie algebra mathfrakg=operatornameLie(G) admits a non-degenerate Ad(G)-invariant symmetric bilinear form. Given a linear function chi on mathfrakg we denote by Uchi(mathfrakg) the reduced enveloping algebra of mathfrakg associated with chi. By the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture (now a theorem), any irreducible Uchi(mathfrakg)-module has dimension divisible by pd(chi) where 2d(chi) is the dimension of the coadjoint G-orbit containing chi. In this paper we give a positive answer to the natural question raised in the 1990s by Kac, Humphreys and the first-named author and show that any algebra Uchi(mathfrakg) admits a module of dimension pd(chi).
