Nilpotency and inversion-step conjecture for cubic homogeneous perturbations

About 11 years old · traced to

Let F:Kd→KdF:K^d\rightarrow K^d be a polynomial map with Fi=Xi+HiF_i=X_i+H_i, where

Hi=Li3,H_i=L_i^3,

and

Li=ai1X1+⋯+aidXd,L_i=a_{i1}X_1+\dots+a_{id}X_d,

for 1≤i≤d1\leq i\leq d. Write H=(H1,…,Hd)H=(H_1,\dots,H_d) and let JHJH be its Jacobian matrix. Define polynomial sequences (Pji)(P_j^i) by

P0i=Xi,P1i=Hi,P_0^i=X_i,\qquad P_1^i=H_i,

and, whenever Pj−1iP_{j-1}^i is defined,

Pji(X1,…,Xd)=Pj−1i(F1,…,Fd)−Pj−1i(X1,…,Xd).P_j^i(X_1,\dots,X_d)=P_{j-1}^i(F_1,\dots,F_d)-P_{j-1}^i(X_1,\dots,X_d).

Let gg be an integer with 1≤g≤d1\leq g\leq d. Nilpotency and inversion-step conjecture. If (JH)g=0(JH)^g=0, then

P(3g−1+1)/2i=0P_{(3^{g-1}+1)/2}^i=0

for every i=1,…,di=1,\dots,d; moreover, FF is invertible and its inverse has maximal degree at most 3g−13^{g-1}.

This conjecture predicts that nilpotency of the Jacobian controls both the termination of the inversion algorithm and the degree of the inverse. The supplied text formulates it after proving a special case, but gives no resolution evidence for the general statement.
