Primitive and prime spectrum equivalence for the Witt algebra and its positive part

Let WW be the Witt algebra and W1W_{\geq -1} its subalgebra spanned by the basis elements of index at least 1-1. Let U(W)\operatorname{U}(W) and U(W1)\operatorname{U}(W_{\geq -1}) be their universal enveloping algebras, and let PSpecprim\operatorname{PSpec}_{\rm prim} denote the primitive spectrum. The Witt-spectrum restriction conjecture. Restriction gives a bijection between primitive, respectively prime, ideals of U(W)\operatorname{U}(W) and U(W1)\operatorname{U}(W_{\geq -1}), and induces a homeomorphism

PSpecprimU(W)PSpecprimU(W1).\operatorname{PSpec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{U}(W)\stackrel{\sim}{\longrightarrow}\operatorname{PSpec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{U}(W_{\geq -1}).

The conjecture is suggested by corresponding results for Poisson spectra, but its resolution is not stated in the supplied text.
