Ideas about the Jacobian Conjecture

Commutative Algebra 2016-10-07 v1

Abstract

Let F:C[x1,,xn]C[x1,,xn]F:\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n] \to \mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n] be a C\mathbb{C}-algebra endomorphism that has an invertible Jacobian. We bring two ideas concerning the Jacobian Conjecture: First, we conjecture that for all nn, the degree of the field extension C(F(x1),,F(xn))C(x1,,xn)\mathbb{C}(F(x_1),\ldots,F(x_n)) \subseteq \mathbb{C}(x_1,\ldots,x_n) is less than or equal to dn1d^{n-1}, where dd is the minimum of the degrees of the F(xi)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(xi)F(x_i)'s by a similar assumption on the degrees of the minimal polynomials of the xix_i's over C(F(x1),f(xn))\mathbb{C}(F(x_1)\ldots,f(x_n)); this way we obtain some analogous results to the known ones.
