Lie-algebraic closure conjecture for finitely generated additive subgroups

From papers

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,,kLND(A)\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k\in\operatorname{LND}(A), set

Hi=exp(Ki)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

Lie1,,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.
