The Jacobian conjecture: Linear triangularization for homogeneous polynomial maps in dimension three (Q2581399)

The general Jacobian conjecture (for any dimension) is equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture in the following class of polynomial mappings \[ F=x+H:k^{n}\rightarrow k^{n} \] (\(n\) arbitrary, \(k\) - a field of characteristic zero), where \(H\) is homogeneous of degree \(3.\) The main result is that the last problem is true for \(n=3.\) It follows from the theorem on homogeneous mappings: if \( H=(H_{1},H_{2},H_{3}):k^{3}\rightarrow k^{3}\) is homogeneous of degree \( d\geq 2\) such that the Jacobian matrix \(JH\) of \(H\) is nilpotent then there exists a linear invertible mapping \(T\) such that \[ T^{-1}\circ H\circ T=(0,h_{2}(x_{1}),h_{3}(x_{1},x_{2})), \] where \(h_{i}\) are homogeneous of degree \(d.\) This, in turn, is based on affirmative answer to the homogeneous dependence problem for \(n=3.\)
