Abstract
We prove that the bracket width of the simple Lie algebra of vector fields of a smooth irreducible affine curve with a trivial tangent sheaf is at most three. In addition, if is a plane curve, the bracket width of is at most two and if moreover has a unique place at infinity, the bracket width of is exactly two. We also show that in case is rational, the width of equals one.
