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

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let WW be the Witt algebra and W≥−1W_{\geq -1} its subalgebra spanned by the basis elements of index at least −1-1. Let U⁡(W)\operatorname{U}(W) and U⁡(W≥−1)\operatorname{U}(W_{\geq -1}) be their universal enveloping algebras, and let PSpec⁡prim\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⁡(W≥−1)\operatorname{U}(W_{\geq -1}), and induces a homeomorphism

PSpec⁡primU⁡(W)⟶∼PSpec⁡primU⁡(W≥−1).\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.
