Lie-algebraic closure conjecture for finitely generated additive subgroups

About 8 years old · traced to

Let XX be an affine variety and let A=OX(X)A=\mathcal{O}_X(X) be its structure algebra. For locally nilpotent derivations ∂1,…,∂k∈LND⁡(A)\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k\in\operatorname{LND}(A), set

Hi=exp⁡(K∂i)⊂SAut⁡(X),G=⟨H1,…,Hk⟩.H_i=\mathop{\rm \exp}(\mathbb{K}\partial_i)\subset\operatorname{SAut}(X),\qquad G=\langle H_1,\ldots,H_k\rangle.

For a locally nilpotent derivation ∂∈LND⁡(A)\partial\in\operatorname{LND}(A), let H=exp⁡(K∂)⊂SAut⁡(X)H=\mathop{\rm \exp}(\mathbb{K}\partial)\subset\operatorname{SAut}(X). Lie-algebraic closure conjecture. The subgroup HH is contained in G‾\overline{G} if and only if

∂∈Lie⁡ ⟨∂1,…,∂k⟩.\partial\in\operatorname{Lie}\,\langle\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k\rangle.

The conjecture concerns when the closure of a subgroup generated by finitely many additive one-parameter subgroups contains another such subgroup. It arises after a theorem characterizing algebraicity of generated groups through finite-dimensionality of the Lie algebra generated by their Lie algebras; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
