Eulerian operators and the Jacobian conjecture. III (Q1193453)

[For part I see the preceding review.] The authors' abstract: Let \(k\) be a field of characteristic zero and \(F:k^ n\mapsto k^ n\) a polynomial map with \(\text{det} JF\in k^*\) and \(F(0)=0\). Using the Euler operator it is shown that if the \(k\)-subalgebra of \(M_ n(k[[x_ 1,\dots,x_ n]])\) generated by the homogeneous components of the matrices \(JF\) and \((JF)^{-1}\) is finite-dimensional over \(k\) and such that each element in it is a Jacobian matrix, then \(F\) is invertible. This implies a result of Connell and Zweibel. Furthermore, it is shown that the Jacobian conjecture is equivalent with the statement that for every \(F\) with \(\text{det} JF\in k^*\) and \(F(0)=0\), the shifted Euler operator \(1+\sum F_ i(\partial/\partial F_ i)\) is Eulerian.
