Abstract: Let $z=(z_1,\mathrm{...},z_n)$ and $Delta=su{m}_{i=1}^{n}fracpartia{l}^{2}partial{z}_i^2$ the Laplace operator. A formal power series $P(z)$ is said to be {it Hessian Nilpotent}(HN) if its Hessian matrix $HesP(z)=(fracpartia{l}^{2}Ppartial{z}_{i}partial{z}_j)$ is nilpotent. In recent developments in [BE1], [M] and [Z], the Jacobian conjecture has been reduced to the following so-called {it vanishing conjecture}(VC) of HN polynomials: {it for any homogeneous HN polynomial $P(z)$ $($of degree $d=4$$)$, we have $Delt{a}^m{P}^{m+1}(z)=0$ for any $m>>0$.} In this paper, we first show that, the VC holds for any homogeneous HN polynomial $P(z)$ provided that the projective subvarieties ${mathcalZ}_P$ and ${mathcalZ}_{sigm{a}_2}$ of $mathbbC{P}^{n-1}$ determined by the principal ideals generated by $P(z)$ and $sigm{a}_2(z):=su{m}_{i=1}^n{z}_i^2$, respectively, intersect only at regular points of ${mathcalZ}_P$. Consequently, the Jacobian conjecture holds for the symmetric polynomial maps $F=z-ablaP$ with $P(z)$ HN if $F$ has no non-zero fixed point $winmathbb{C}^n$ with $su{m}_{i=1}^n{w}_i^2=0$. Secondly, we show that the VC holds for a HN formal power series $P(z)$ if and only if, for any polynomial $f(z)$, $Delt{a}^m(f(z)P(z{)}^m)=0$ when $m>>0$.
