The Jacobian Conjecture fails for pseudo-planes

Abstract

A smooth complex variety satisfies the Generalized Jacobian Conjecture if all its \'etale endomorphisms are proper. We study the conjecture for Q\mathbb{Q}-acyclic surfaces of negative Kodaira dimension. We show that GG-equivariant counterexamples for infinite group GG exist if and only if G=CG=\mathbb{C}^* and we classify them relating them to Belyi-Shabat polynomials. Taking universal covers we get rational simply connected C\mathbb{C}^*-surfaces of negative Kodaira dimension which admit non-proper C\mathbb{C}^*-equivariant \'etale endomorphisms. We prove also that for every integers r1,k2r\geq 1, k\geq 2 the Q\mathbb{Q}-acyclic rational hyperplane u(1+urv)=wku(1+u^{r}v)=w^k, which has fundamental group Zk\mathbb{Z}_k and negative Kodaira dimension, admits families of non-proper \'etale endomorphisms of arbitrarily high dimension and degree, whose members remain different after dividing by the action of the automorphism group by left and right composition.
