The vanishing conjecture for quadratic differential operators

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, let P(z)AK[z]P(z)\in {\mathcal A}_K[z], and let Λ\Lambda be a quadratic differential operator on AK[z]{\mathcal A}_K[z]. Assume

Λm(Pm)=0\Lambda^m(P^m)=0

for every integer m1m\geq 1. The vanishing conjecture. Then

Λm(Pm+1)=0\Lambda^m(P^{m+1})=0

for all sufficiently large mm. This conjecture concerns the eventual vanishing of iterated quadratic differential operators and is stated in the paper as equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture. The parser marks the displayed result as resolved, with the cited context attributing the formula to Gurjar and Abhyankar; the exact resolution of the conjectural formulation should be checked.
