Surjectivity of Kirillov's orbit method for Virasoro and Witt algebras

Let g\mathfrak g be one of V ⁣irV\!ir, WW, or W1W_{\geq -1}. For a local function χg\chi\in\mathfrak g^*, choose a polarization and form the annihilator of the induced module; write O(χ)\mathbb O(\chi) for its pseudo-orbit. Let PSpecprimS(g)\operatorname{PSpec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{S}(\mathfrak g) and SpecprimU(g)\operatorname{Spec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{U}(\mathfrak g) denote the corresponding Poisson-primitive and primitive spectra. The orbit-method surjectivity conjecture. Kirillov's assignment from χ\chi to a polarization and then to the annihilator of the induced module always produces a primitive ideal, is independent of the polarization, depends only on O(χ)\mathbb O(\chi), and induces a surjective map

PSpecprimS(g)SpecprimU(g).\operatorname{PSpec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{S}(\mathfrak g)\longrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}_{\rm prim}\operatorname{U}(\mathfrak g).

This would establish an orbit-method description of all primitive ideals for these infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. The paper verifies the construction for particular two-dimensional pseudo-orbits, while the full assertion remains open.
