Let A be a domain over an algebraically closed field with Gelfand–Kirillov dimension in the interval [2,3). We prove that if A has two locally nilpotent skew derivations satisfying some natural conditions, then A must be one of five algebras. All five algebras are Noetherian, finitely generated, and have Gelfand–Kirillov dimension equal to 2. We also obtain some results comparing the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of an algebra to its subring of invariants under a locally nilpotent skew derivation.
