Yan's conjecture. If is a simple derivation of , then is conjugate in to a subgroup of the group of translations.
This conjecture concerns the structure of isotropy groups for simple polynomial derivations. The source presents it as a conjecture proposed by D. Yan; the supplied material gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
