Jelonek's conjecture on polynomial mappings with non-properness set of codimension at least two

About 5 years old · traced to

Let F=(f1,…,fn):Rn→RnF=(f_1,\ldots,f_n):\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^n be a polynomial mapping. Write J(F)J(F) for its Jacobian determinant and SFS_F for its non-properness set, and let codim⁡SF\operatorname{codim} S_F denote its codimension. Jelonek's conjecture. If J(F)J(F) is nowhere vanishing and

codim⁡SF≥2,\operatorname{codim} S_F\geq 2,

then FF is a bijective mapping. Jelonek proved the claim under the stronger assumption codim⁡SF≥3\operatorname{codim} S_F\geq3 and in dimension n=2n=2; in general, the conjecture remains open for n≥3n\geq3. It implies the complex Jacobian conjecture.
