Let F : C[x 1 , . . . , xn] → C[x 1 , . . . , xn] be a C-algebra endomorphism that has an invertible Jacobian.We bring two ideas concerning the Jacobian Conjecture: First, we conjecture that for all n, the degree of the field extension C(F (x 1 ), . . . , F (xn)) ⊆ C(x 1 , . . . , xn) is less than or equal to d n−1 , where d is the minimum of the degrees of the F (x i )'s. If this conjecture is true, then the generalized Jacobian Conjecture is true.Second, we suggest to replace in some known theorems the assumption on the degrees of the F (x i )'s by a similar assumption on the degrees of the minimal polynomials of the x i 's over C(F (x 1 ), . . . , F (xn)); this way we obtain some analogous results to the known ones.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.
