Weak Catenary Conjecture for differential varieties

About 12 years old · traced to

Let V⊆AnV \subseteq \mathbb A^n be a positive-dimensional irreducible differential variety, and let W⊆VW \subseteq V be a zero-dimensional differential subvariety. Weak Catenary Conjecture. There is a proper irreducible differential subvariety V1V_1 of VV such that V1∩W≠∅V_1 \cap W \neq \emptyset and V1⊈WV_1 \not\subseteq W. This is a weaker form of the Kolchin catenary conjecture and would follow easily from it, but the source states that no proof is known.
