The nested-subalgebra classification conjecture for infinite-codimension Witt subalgebras

Let W1W_{\geq -1} be the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on the affine line with degrees at least 1-1, let k\Bbbk be the base field, and let L(f)L(f) and L(f,g)L(f,g) be the subalgebras associated with polynomials f,gk[t]f,g\in\Bbbk[t]. Nested-subalgebra classification conjecture. If g\mathfrak{g} is an infinite-dimensional subalgebra of W1W_{\geq -1}, then there exist f,gk[t]f,g\in\Bbbk[t] such that fgk[f]f'g\in\Bbbk[f] and

L(f,g)gL(f).L(f,g)\subseteq\mathfrak{g}\subseteq L(f).

In particular, g\mathfrak{g} has finite codimension in L(f)L(f). This is stated as a conjectural classification of infinite-dimensional subalgebras, and the paper does not establish it in general.
