Strictly nilpotent elements and bispectral operators in the Weyl algebra. (Q1865014)

An element of a Weyl algebra is called strictly nilpotent if it acts Lie-nilpotently on the whole algebra. The author gives some characterization of strictly nilpotent elements of the first Weyl algebra \(A_1\) and deduces from it, first, certain characterization of bispectral operators (with polynomial coefficients) and, second, a reformulation of the Dixmier-Kirillov conjecture -- that every endomorphism of \(A_1\) is an automorphism -- in terms of bispectral operators.
