Belov–Kontsevich conjecture on Weyl algebra automorphisms and polynomial Poisson automorphisms

Let An,CA_{n,\mathbb{C}} be the Weyl algebra and let Pn,CP_{n,\mathbb{C}} be the commutative polynomial algebra equipped with its Poisson bracket. For an infinite prime [p][p], let

φ[p]:Aut(An,C)Aut(Pn,C)\varphi_{[p]}:\operatorname{Aut}(A_{n,\mathbb{C}})\longrightarrow\operatorname{Aut}(P_{n,\mathbb{C}})

be the group homomorphism obtained as the direct limit of the morphisms φ[p],N\varphi_{[p],N} described above, sending a Weyl algebra automorphism ff to the associated symplectomorphism fΘcf^c_{\Theta}. Belov–Kontsevich conjecture. The homomorphism φ[p]\varphi_{[p]} is a group isomorphism. This conjecture asserts that automorphisms of the Weyl algebra are completely captured by symplectic automorphisms of the corresponding polynomial Poisson algebra; the supplied text gives no resolution status, so it remains open here.
