Commuting noninvertible formal power series conjecture
Let be a prime, let , and write . For a power series , let denote its zero set. Commuting noninvertible formal power series conjecture. If are noninvertible power series without constant coefficient and commute under composition, namely
then
This extends the corresponding one-variable results and the proved two-variable case to arbitrary dimension. The authors state that the required control of Newton copolygons in more than two variables is currently unavailable, so the assertion remains open.
