Abstract

Let Pn=k[x1,x2,,xn]P_n=k[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n] be the polynomial algebra over a field kk of characteristic zero in the variables x1,x2,,xnx_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n and Ln\mathscr{L}_n be the left-symmetric algebra of all derivations of PnP_n \cite{Dzhuma99,UU2014-1}. Using the language of Ln\mathscr{L}_n, for every derivation DLnD\in \mathscr{L}_n we define the associative algebra ADA_D, the Lie algebra LDL_D, and the left-symmetric algebra LD\mathscr{L}_D related to the study of the Jacobian Conjecture. For every derivation DLnD\in \mathscr{L}_n there is a unique nn-tuple F=(f1,f2,,fn)F=(f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n) of elements of PnP_n such that D=DF=f11+f22++fnnD=D_F=f_1\partial_1+f_2\partial_2+\ldots+f_n\partial_n. In this case, using an action of the Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions NSymm\mathrm{NSymm} on PnP_n, we show that these algebras are closely related to the description of coefficients of the formal inverse to the polynomial endomorphism X+tFX+tF, where X=(x1,x2,,xn)X=(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n) and tt is an independent parameter. We prove that the Jacobian matrix J(F)J(F) is nilpotent if and only if all right powers DF[r]D_F^{[r]} of DFD_F in Ln\mathscr{L}_n have zero divergence. In particular, if J(F)J(F) is nilpotent then DFD_F is right nilpotent. We discuss some advantages and shortcomings of these algebras and formulate some open questions.
