On the shape of possible counterexamples to the Jacobian Conjecture

Abstract: Abstract. We improve the algebraic methods of Abhyankar for the Jacobian Conjecture in dimension two and describe the shape of possible counterexamples. We give an elementary proof of the result of Heitmann in [7], which states that gcd(deg(P ), deg(Q)) ≥ 16 for any counterexample (P, Q). We also prove that gcd(deg(P ), deg(Q)) = 2p for any prime p and analyze thoroughly the case 16, adapting a reduction of degree technique introduced by Moh.

“…, X n , and hence X i ∈ I F for every i, as needed. Therefore, in other words, if there exists a Keller map F such that I F is strictly contained in the ideal generated by the indeterminates, then F would be a counterexample to JC (for a detailed study about the shape of possible counterexamples in the two-dimensional case, see [25]). This is particularly intriguing if k is not algebraically closed, since in this case I F might eventually admit an associated maximal ideal M ⊃ I F such that V (M ) is empty; for instance, it is not known whether the base ideal of a planar Keller map F over the real number field R can be decomposed as…”

“…Let l ∈ N and let (P, Q) ∈ L (l) be an (m, n)-pair (see [5,Definition 4.3]). In this section we take (ρ, σ) ∈](0, −1), (1,1)] such that 1 m en ρ,σ (P ) = 1 n en ρ,σ (Q) =: (a/l, b) and a/l > b > 0…”

“…In addition, there are also many other partial results on both Jacobian and strong Jacobian conjectures, and on their relations with other subjects, see e.g. the survey papers by Bass et al [6] in 1982 and Essen [23] in 2000, and the recent publications [5,7,13,14,19,21,24,26,27,29,32,35,38,40,47,48,49,50,55,56]. On the history of the Jacobian and strong Jacobian conjectures we should also mention the papers by Abhyankar and Moh [3] in 1975 for two dimensional case, by Wang [51] in 1980 for the map F with degrees no more than 2, by Bass et al [6] in 1982, Yagzhev [54] in 1980 and Drużkowski [20] in 1983 via reduction of degrees of the polynomial maps, and by Hubbers [30] on cubic maps in dimension 4.…”
