The combinatorial Jacobian conjecture

Fix an integer d3d\geq 3. For each n1n\geq 1, let H=(Hi,α:i[n],α=d)H=(H_{i,\alpha}:i\in[n],\lvert\alpha\rvert=d) be a collection of complex numbers, and let Ψi,jα(H)\Psi_{i,j}^{\alpha}(H) and Φiα(H)\Phi_i^{\alpha}(H) denote the combinatorial quantities defined in the paper. The combinatorial Jacobian conjecture. There exists d3d\geq 3 such that, for every n1n\geq 1, if

Ψi,jα(H)=0\Psi_{i,j}^{\alpha}(H)=0

for all i,j[n]i,j\in[n] and αZ0n\alpha\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^n with α=(d1)n\lvert\alpha\rvert=(d-1)n, then, for each i[n]i\in[n], Φiα(H)=0\Phi_i^{\alpha}(H)=0 for all but finitely many α\alpha. This is an equivalent combinatorial formulation of the Jacobian conjecture, encoding nilpotency conditions and polynomiality of the inverse through weighted sums over labelled trees.
