The Realisation Conjecture for Jacobi algebras of noncommutative functions

Let fCxf\in\mathbb C\langle\kern -2.5pt\langle \mathsf{x}\rangle\kern -2.5pt\rangle be a noncommutative formal power series, and let Jac(f)\operatorname{Jac}(f) denote its Jacobi algebra. Call ff geometric if Jac(f)\operatorname{Jac}(f) is isomorphic to the contraction algebra of some contraction XSpecR\mathcal{X}\to\operatorname{Spec}\mathcal{R} of the type described in the paper.

The Realisation Conjecture. Every fCxf\in\mathbb C\langle\kern -2.5pt\langle \mathsf{x}\rangle\kern -2.5pt\rangle whose Jacobi algebra satisfies

JdimJac(f)1\operatorname{Jdim}\operatorname{Jac}(f)\leq 1

is geometric.

This conjecture proposes that the low-dimensional Jacobi algebras arising from noncommutative formal functions are all realised geometrically as contraction algebras. The source reports the conjecture as open; in particular, one unresolved case is when fx3+O4f\cong x^3+\mathcal{O}_4, which requires further analysis.
