Mokhov's conjecture on the Doyle–Potemin form of local Poisson operators

Let P=e=1d+2Peijxd+2eP=\sum_{e=1}^{d+2} P^{ij}_e {\partial}_x^{d+2-e} be a local operator of homogeneous differential order d+2d+2, meaning that

degxPeij=e,\deg_{{\partial}_x} P^{ij}_e=e,

where d0d\geq 0. Assume that PP defines a Poisson bracket. Mokhov's conjecture. There exists a local skew-symmetric operator QijQ^{ij} of homogeneous differential order dd such that

P=xQijx.P={\partial}_x\circ Q^{ij}\circ {\partial}_x.

This conjecture concerns the possible form of homogeneous local Poisson structures of differential degree at least two. Doyle and Potëmin proved the asserted form for differential degrees 22 and 33, while the general case remains open in the source.
