Stable coordinate conjecture over rings of characteristic zero

Let AA be a ring of characteristic zero, and let fA[n]f \in A^{[n]}. Stable coordinate conjecture. If there is some m>0m>0 such that ff is a coordinate in A[n+m]A^{[n+m]}, then ff is a coordinate in A[n]A^{[n]}. This is a stable-coordinate or cancellation problem for polynomial automorphisms; the source places it among longstanding criteria for recognizing coordinates and indicates that related examples remain open.
