      \textit{S. A. Amitsur} [Can. J. Math. 8, 355-361 (1956; Zbl 0072.02404)] conjectured that if a polynomial ring in one indeterminate is Jacobson radical, then it is a nil ring. The authors show that this conjecture does not hold. They construct an algebra over a countable field, the polynomial algebra in one indeterminate over which is Jacobson radical but not a nil ring.
