Unipotent Jacobian matrices and univalent maps (Q2704366)

Let \(K\) be a field of characteristic zero and \(F = (F_1, \dots, F_n) : K^n \to K^n\) a polynomial map, \(J = (\frac{\partial F_i}{\partial X_j})\) its Jacobian matrix. The Jacobian Conjecture says that \(F\) has a polynomial inverse if \(\det(J) = 1\). The Jacobian Conjecture is a consequence of the so-called Unipotent Jacobian Conjecture for all \(n\): if \(F : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n\) is a polynomial map such that the Jacobian matrix \(J\) is unipotent, then \(F\) is injective. This conjecture for \(\mathcal{C}^1\)-maps is discussed in the paper. In particular, it is proved for the case \(n = 2\). Some known results of the polynomial case are extended to the \(\mathcal{C}^1\)-case.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0953.00031].
