Abstract: Let z=(z1,...,zn) and Delta=sumi=1nfracpartial2partialzi2 the Laplace operator. A formal power series P(z) is said to be {it Hessian Nilpotent}(HN) if its Hessian matrix HesP(z)=(fracpartial2Ppartialzipartialzj) 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 DeltamPm+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 mathcalZP and mathcalZsigma2 of mathbbCPn1 determined by the principal ideals generated by P(z) and sigma2(z):=sumi=1nzi2, respectively, intersect only at regular points of mathcalZP. Consequently, the Jacobian conjecture holds for the symmetric polynomial maps F=zablaP with P(z) HN if F has no non-zero fixed point winmathbbCn with sumi=1nwi2=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), Deltam(f(z)P(z)m)=0 when m>>0.
