A remark on the Dixmier Conjecture

Rings and Algebras 2020-02-19 v1

Abstract

The Dixmier Conjecture says that every endomorphism of the (first) Weyl algebra A1A_1 (over a field of characteristic zero) is an automorphism, i.e., if PQQP=1PQ-QP=1 for some P,QA1P, Q \in A_1 then A1=KP,QA_1 = K \langle P, Q \rangle. The Weyl algebra A1A_1 is a Z\Z-graded algebra. We prove that the Dixmier Conjecture holds if the elements PP and QQ are sums of no more than two homogeneous elements of AA (there is no restriction on the total degrees of PP and QQ).
