Smoktunowicz–Bell conjecture on prime monomial algebras

Let AA be a prime monomial algebra over a field kk. A monomial algebra is an algebra of the form

Ak{x1,,xd}/I,A\cong k\{x_1,\ldots,x_d\}/I,

where II is generated by monomials in x1,,xdx_1,\ldots,x_d.

Smoktunowicz–Bell conjecture. Every prime monomial algebra AA is either PI, primitive, or has nonzero Jacobson radical.

The conjecture concerns the possible structure of prime monomial algebras. The paper proves a special case for finitely presented monomial algebras, and more generally for automaton algebras, but the full statement is not resolved in the supplied source.
