Petukhov–Shestakov conjecture on the just infinite GK-dimension of the positive Witt enveloping algebra

Let K\mathbb K be a field of characteristic zero, and let W+W_+ be the positive Witt algebra with basis {en:n1}\{e_n:n\geqslant 1\} and Lie bracket [ei,ej]=(ji)ei+j[e_i,e_j]=(j-i)e_{i+j}. Its universal enveloping algebra is U(W+)U(W_+). Petukhov–Shestakov's conjecture. The algebra U(W+)U(W_+) has just infinite Gelfand–Kirillov dimension: for every non-zero ideal II of U(W+)U(W_+), the quotient U(W+)/IU(W_+)/I has polynomial growth. This conjecture concerns the sparse two-sided ideal structure of the enveloping algebra of the positive Witt algebra; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
