Lie-algebra closure conjecture for finitely generated unipotent subgroups

About 4 years old · traced to

Let XX be an irreducible affine variety. For locally nilpotent derivations ∂1,…,∂k\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k of K[X]{\mathbb K}[X], let

Hi=exp⁡(K∂i),G=⟨H1,…,Hk⟩⊆Aut⁡(X).H_i={\rm \exp}({\mathbb K}\partial_i),\qquad G=\langle H_1,\ldots,H_k\rangle\subseteq\operatorname{Aut}(X).

A Lie-algebra closure conjecture asserts that a Ga{\mathbb G}_a-subgroup H=exp⁡(K∂)H={\rm \exp}({\mathbb K}\partial) lies in G‾\overline{G} if and only if ∂\partial belongs to the Lie algebra generated by ∂1,…,∂k\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_k. This is proposed as a generalization of a lemma for root subgroups; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
