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 $U_{c}hi(mathfrakg)$ the reduced enveloping algebra of $mathfrakg$ associated with $chi$. By the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture (now a theorem), any irreducible $U_{c}hi(mathfrakg)$-module has dimension divisible by $p^{d(chi)}$ 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 $U_{c}hi(mathfrakg)$ admits a module of dimension $p^{d(chi)}$.
