Just-infinite GK-dimension conjecture for the positive Witt enveloping algebra

From papers

Let U(W+){\rm U}(W_+) be the universal enveloping algebra of the positive Witt algebra W+W_+ over a field of characteristic zero. The algebra U(W+){\rm U}(W_+) has just infinite Gelfand–Kirillov dimension: if II is a nonzero two-sided ideal of U(W+){\rm U}(W_+), then

GKdim(U(W+)/I)<.\operatorname{GKdim}({\rm U}(W_+)/I)<\infty.

This conjecture proposes that every nonzero quotient has finite Gelfand–Kirillov dimension, extending the finite-dimensionality result known for several classes of ideals, including ideals generated by quadratic expressions. The general case remains open.
