Abstract

The Jacobian Conjecture is a known unsolved problem and it is the problem number 16 of the list''Mathematical Problems for the Next Century'', made by Stephen Smale, in 1998. The problem asks whether or not the Jacobian matrix of a polynomial mapping $F:\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}^n$ at every point being invertible implies that $F$ is an automorphism. The case $n = 1$ is trivially true, while the case $n\geq 3$ has been recently proven to be false by a counter-example provided by Levent Alp\"oge, and the case $n = 2$ is still an open problem. In this paper, we show that, for all $n \geq 1$, there exists a non-empty Zariski dense open set $U$ such that, for all $F \in U$, if the Jacobian matrix of $F$ is invertible, then $F$ is an automorpshim.

The weak Markus--Yamabe conjecture fails in dimension 14

We show that the weak Markus--Yamabe conjecture fails in every dimension $n\geq14$. We first prove a chain realization theorem: every polynomial Keller map $F=\I+H$ of $\R^n$ with component degrees $d_1,\ldots,d_n$ yields an explicit polynomial vector field on $\R^N$, with $N=\sum_i\max(d_i,2)-n$, whose Jacobian matrix...

On mappings with Jacobian one

We show that the set $A(n, d)$ of polynomial automorphisms $F : \Bbb C^n \to \Bbb C^n$ of degree at most $d$ and with $Jac(F ) = 1$ is Zariski closed. In particular every irreducible component of the set $A(n,d)$ of polynomial mappings with Jacobian $1$ is either composed with polynomial automorphisms or (generically)...

Small Counterexamples to the Gaussian Moments Conjecture

We give explicit complex polynomials $P,Q$ in three independent standard real Gaussian variables such that \[ {\mathbb E}(P^m)=0,\qquad {\mathbb E}(QP^m)=m!\neq0 \] for every $m\geq1$. In natural complex linear coordinates, $P$ has five terms and total degree $4$. Hence the Gaussian Moments Conjecture is false in every...

Counterexamples to Schiffer's Conjecture

The Schiffer conjecture states that if a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ admits a Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplacian which is constant at the boundary, then the domain is a ball. It is intimately related to Pompeiu's problem, stating that if a nonzero function integrates zero over any rigid motion of $\...

A five-variable counterexample to the Hessian conjecture, and the low-dimensional status of the Jacobian and Hessian conjectures

We exhibit an explicit integer polynomial in five variables, of total degree $14$ and with constant Hessian determinant $128$, whose gradient is not injective. Consequently its formal Legendre transform is not a polynomial, and the Hessian conjecture $\HC_5$ is false. The counterexample is obtained from the six-variabl...

The Existence of Non-Equivariant Gromov Tori

In this paper, we address the following question: if a flat torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ is isometrically and minimally embedded into a sphere $\mathbb{S}^N$, must its translation group extend to the isometry group of the ambient sphere? As shown by Robert Bryant, for $n=2$ the answer is positive. Furthermore, while Ying Lu, P...
