Furter's Rigidity Conjecture for polynomial inverses

From papers

Let mN+m\in\mathbb N_+ and let a(X)C[X]a(X)\in{\mathbb C}[X] be a polynomial of degree at most m+1m+1 such that a(X)X(modX2)a(X)\equiv X\pmod{X^2}. Let a1(X)a^{-1}(X) denote its formal inverse for composition. Furter's Rigidity Conjecture. If mm consecutive coefficients of a1(X)a^{-1}(X) vanish, then a(X)=Xa(X)=X. Furter proved the cases m=1m=1 and m=2m=2, while the paper describes the case m=3m=3 as more complicated; the general conjecture remains open.
