Jacobian Conjecture and Nilpotent Mappings

The Jacobian Conjecture: linear triangularization for homogeneous polynomial maps in dimension three

Let k be a field of characteristic zero and F : k → k a polynomial map of the form F = x + H, where H is homogeneous of degree d ≥ 2. We show that the Jacobian Conjecture is true for such mappings. More precisely, we show that if JH is nilpotent there exists an invertible linear map T such that T−1HT = (0, h2(x1), h3(x1, x2)), where the hi are homogeneous of degree d. As a consequence of this r...

Polynomial maps with strongly nilpotent Jacobian matrix and the Jacobian Conjecture

Some Properties of and Open Problems on Hessian Nilpotent Polynomials

In the recent work [BE1], [M], [Z1] and [Z2], the well-known Jacobian conjecture ([BCW], [E]) has been reduced to a problem on HN (Hessian nilpotent) polynomials (the polynomials whose Hessian matrix are nilpotent) and their (deformed) inversion pairs. In this paper, we prove several results on HN polynomials, their (deformed) inversion pairs as well as on the associated symmetric polynomial or...

Hessian Nilpotent Polynomials and the Jacobian Conjecture

Let z = (z1, · · · , zn) and ∆ = ∑n i=1 ∂ 2 ∂z i the Laplace operator. The main goal of the paper is to show that the wellknown Jacobian conjecture without any additional conditions is equivalent to the following what we call vanishing conjecture: for any homogeneous polynomial P (z) of degree d = 4, if ∆P(z) = 0 for all m ≥ 1, then ∆P(z) = 0 when m >> 0, or equivalently, ∆P(z) = 0 when m > 3 2...
