Abstract

For a polynomial map f:knkm\mathbf{f} : k^n \to k^m (kk a field), we investigate those polynomials gk[t1,,tn]g \in k[t_1,\ldots, t_n] that can be written as a composition g=hfg = h \circ \mathbf{f}, where h:kmkh: k^m \to k is an arbitrary function. In the case that kk is algebraically closed of characteristic 00 and f\mathbf{f} is surjective, we will show that g=hfg = h \circ \mathbf{f} implies that hh is a polynomial.
