Conjecture on bracket width of vector fields on non-rational smooth plane affine curves
Conjecture on bracket width of vector fields on non-rational smooth plane affine curves
Let be a non-rational smooth affine plane curve, and let denote its Lie algebra of algebraic vector fields. The bracket width of a Lie algebra is the least integer such that every element is a sum of at most Lie brackets.
Bracket-width conjecture. The bracket width of is exactly two.
This conjecture would remove the unique-place-at-infinity hypothesis from the preceding result, which proves the same conclusion for non-rational smooth plane affine curves with a unique place at infinity.
