Coordinate equivalence conjecture for transformed polynomials

About 16 years old · traced to

Let AA be a commutative ring with one, let A[n]A^{[n]} be a polynomial ring over AA, let a,b∈A[n]a,b\in A^{[n]}, and let g∈A[n][y]g\in A^{[n]}[y]. Coordinate equivalence conjecture. If AA is a Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra, then

y+g(ay+b) is a coordinatey+g(ay+b)\text{ is a coordinate}

if and only if

y+ag(y)−b is a coordinate.y+ag(y)-b\text{ is a coordinate}.

This question is motivated by the preceding corollary, which establishes the analogous equivalence for being a hyperplane. The supplied text gives no resolution of the coordinate statement.
