Abstract: Let W+ be the positive Witt algebra, which has a C-basis en:ninZgeq1, with Lie bracket [ei,ej]=(ji)ei+j. We study the two-sided ideal structure of the universal enveloping algebra U(W+) of W+. We show that if I is a (two-sided) ideal of U(W+) generated by quadratic expressions in the ei, then U(W+)/I has finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, and that such ideals satisfy the ascending chain condition. We conjecture that analogous facts hold for arbitrary ideals of U(W+), and verify a version of these conjectures for radical Poisson ideals of the symmetric algebra S(W+).
