Drużkowski's invertibility conjecture for cubic maps

Let n1n\geq 1 and let A={aij}1i,jnA=\{a_{ij}\}_{1\leq i,j\leq n} be an n×nn\times n complex matrix. Define the map T:CnCnT:\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}^n by

wi=zi+gi3,gi=ai1z1+ai2z2++ainzn,1in.w_i=z_i+g_i^3,\qquad g_i=a_{i1}z_1+a_{i2}z_2+\cdots+a_{in}z_n,\quad 1\leq i\leq n.

Such a map is called a Drużkowski map. Drużkowski's conjecture. If the Jacobian determinant J(T)J(T) is a nonzero constant, then TT is invertible. This is a reduction of the Jacobian Conjecture: Drużkowski showed that proving this assertion for all n1n\geq 1 would imply the Jacobian Conjecture.
