The Valqui–Guccione–Guccione criterion for the Jacobian conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let a,b∈Z>0a,b\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0} satisfy a∤ba\nmid b and b∤ab\nmid a. Let λi∈C\lambda_i\in\mathbb{C} for i∈[0,a+b−2]i\in[0,a+b-2], with λ0=1\lambda_0=1. Suppose that F,G∈R=C[x,y]F,G\in\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{C}[x,y] and C,P∈C[y]((x−1))C,P\in\mathbb{C}[y]((x^{-1})) satisfy the five stated conditions: CC has the prescribed Laurent expansion, deg⁡(C)=1\deg(C)=1 and deg⁡(P)≤2−a\deg(P)\leq2-a, the specified leading part of PP when equality holds, Ca=GC^a=G and F=∑i=0a+b−2λiCb−i+PF=\sum_{i=0}^{a+b-2}\lambda_iC^{b-i}+P, and [F,G]∈C[F,G]\in\mathbb{C}.

The Valqui–Guccione–Guccione criterion. Then

[F,G]=0.[F,G]=0.

The paper identifies this as a slight reformulation of a conjecture equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture, citing Valqui, Guccione, and Guccione. The source supplies no resolution status.
