The finite-by-null conjecture for omega-categorical pseudofinite rings

From papers

Let RR be a ring that is both omega-categorical, meaning that its theory has a unique countable model up to isomorphism, and pseudofinite, meaning that it is infinite and every first-order sentence true in RR has a finite model. A ring is null if xy=0xy=0 for all x,yRx,y\in R. It is finite-by-null if it has a finite two-sided ideal JJ such that the quotient by JJ is null. The finite-by-null conjecture. The ring RR has a definable two-sided ideal II of finite index which is finite-by-null; that is, II has a finite two-sided ideal JJ such that I/JI/J is null. This conjecture is presented as a ring-theoretic analogue of the preceding group conjecture; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
