The Centralizer Conjecture for the Weyl algebra over an integral domain

From papers

Let DD be a commutative integral domain of characteristic zero, let Q(D)Q(D) be its field of fractions, and let A1(D)A_1(D) be the first Weyl algebra over DD, generated by xx and \partial with relation [,x]=1[\partial,x]=1. For elements u,vu,v, write [u,v]=uvvu[u,v]=uv-vu, and let A1(D)=DA_1(D)^*=D^* denote its units.

The Centralizer Conjecture over DD. Suppose A,B,wA1(D)A,B,w\in A_1(D) satisfy

[A,B]A1(D)=D[A,B]\in A_1(D)^*=D^*

and

[A,w]=0.[A,w]=0.

Then

wD[A].w\in D[A].

The analogous result over a field of characteristic zero implies only wQ(D)[A]w\in Q(D)[A] over an integral domain. This conjecture is the noncommutative Weyl-algebra analogue of the two-dimensional Centralizer Conjecture and remains open in the stated generality.
