The Sierra–Walton conjecture on Noetherian enveloping algebras

From papers

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, let g\mathfrak{g} be a Lie algebra over KK, and let U(g)U(\mathfrak{g}) denote its universal enveloping algebra. Sierra–Walton conjecture. If g\mathfrak{g} is infinite dimensional, then U(g)U(\mathfrak{g}) is not Noetherian.

This conjecture asserts that a Noetherian universal enveloping algebra can arise only from a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The paper introduces weakly Noetherian Lie algebras to study this question; the supplied text does not state that the conjecture has been resolved.
