Abstract

In this short review we first recall combinatorial or (00-dimensional) quantum field theory (QFT). We then give the main idea of a standard QFT method, called the intermediate field method, and we review how to apply this method to a combinatorial QFT reformulation of the celebrated Jacobian conjecture on the invertibility of polynomial systems. This approach establishes a related theorem concerning partial elimination of variables that implies a reduction of the generic case to the quadratic one. Note that this does not imply solving the Jacobian conjecture, because one needs to introduce a supplementary parameter for the dimension of a certain linear subspace where the system holds.
