Abstract: In the recent progress [BE1], [Me] and [Z2], the well-known JC (Jacobian conjecture) ([BCW], [E]) has been reduced to a VC (vanishing conjecture) on the Laplace operators and HN (Hessian nilpotent) polynomials (the polynomials whose Hessian matrix are nilpotent). In this paper, we first show that the vanishing conjecture above, hence also the JC, is equivalent to a vanishing conjecture for all 2nd order homogeneous differential operators Lambda and Lambda-nilpotent polynomials P (the polynomials P(z) satisfying LambdamPm=0 for all mge1). We then transform some results in the literature on the JC, HN polynomials and the VC of the Laplace operators to certain results on Lambda-nilpotent polynomials and the associated VC for 2nd order homogeneous differential operators Lambda. This part of the paper can also be read as a short survey on HN polynomials and the associated VC in the more general setting. Finally, we discuss a still-to-be-understood connection of Lambda-nilpotent polynomials in general with the classical orthogonal polynomials in one or more variables. This connection provides a conceptual understanding for the isotropic properties of homogeneous Lambda-nilpotent polynomials for the 2nd order homogeneous full rank differential operators Lambda with constant coefficients.
