The Jacobian conjecture, a reduction of the degree to the quadratic case (Q345059)

The Jacobian Conjecture states that any polynomial mapping from \(\mathbb{C} ^{n}\) to \(\mathbb{C}^{n}\) with non-zero constant Jacobian is globally invertible. \textit{H. Bass} et al. [Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 7, 287--330 (1982; Zbl 0539.13012)] proved a reduction theorem stating that the conjecture is true if it is true in degree three. This degree reduction is obtained with the price of increasing the number \(n\) of variables. The authors reduce the problem further to degree two but at the cost introducing not only additional variables but also parameters.
