The degree-two homogeneous perturbation conjecture for polynomial automorphisms

Let kk be a field, let II denote the identity map on affine nn-space, and let HH be a homogeneous polynomial map of degree 22. Thus F=I+HF=I+H is a polynomial automorphism in GAn(k)\operatorname{GA}_n(k).

Degree-two tameness conjecture. If

F=I+HGAn(k),F=I+H\in \operatorname{GA}_n(k),

where HH is homogeneous of degree 22, then FF is tame.

The conjecture is motivated by the paper's computational theorem establishing tameness in several low-degree and small-finite-field cases. No general proof or counterexample is given.
