Abstract: S. Gindikin and the author defined a $G_{\mathbb R}$- $K_{\mathbb C}$ invariant subset $C(S)$ of $G_{\mathbb C}$ for each $K_{\mathbb C}$-orbit $S$ on every flag manifold $G_{\mathbb C}/P$ and conjectured that the connected component $C(S)_0$ of the identity would be equal to the Akhiezer-Gindikin domain $D$ if $S$ is of non-holomorphic type by computing many examples. In this paper, we first prove this conjecture for the open $K_{\mathbb C}$-orbit $S$ on an ``arbitrary'' flag manifold generalizing the result of Barchini. This conjecture for closed $S$ was solved by J. A. Wolf and R. Zierau for Hermitian cases and by G. Fels and A. Huckleberry for non-Hermitian cases. We also deduce an alternative proof of this result for non-Hermitian cases.
