Miyanishi's conjecture on endomorphisms injective outside a closed subvariety

Let XX be an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let ϕ:XX\phi:X \longrightarrow X be an endomorphism. Let YY be a proper closed subvariety of XX such that the restriction of ϕ\phi to XYX \setminus Y is injective. Suppose furthermore that either ϕ\phi is quasi-finite or YY has codimension at least 22 in XX. Miyanishi's conjecture. Then ϕ\phi is an automorphism. The conjecture concerns conditions under which an endomorphism of an algebraic variety must be an automorphism. The paper's abstract states that both cases are proved: quasi-finite endomorphisms injective outside a closed subvariety, and endomorphisms of complex algebraic varieties injective outside a subvariety of codimension at least 22.
