The Newton-polygon divisibility conjecture for Jacobian pairs

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let R=C[x,y]\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{C}[x,y], and let N0(F)N^0(F) denote the Newton polygon of FF with the origin as reference point. Let a,b∈Z>0a,b\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0} be relatively prime with 2≤a<b2\leq a<b. Two polygons are similar with the origin as center when one is obtained from the other by a dilation about the origin. The Newton-polygon conjecture. Suppose that F,G∈RF,G\in\mathcal{R} satisfy [F,G]∈C[F,G]\in\mathbb{C} and that

{(0,0),(0,1),(1,0)}⊆N0(F),\{(0,0),(0,1),(1,0)\}\subseteq N^0(F),

while N0(F)N^0(F) is similar to N0(G)N^0(G) with ratio deg⁡(F):deg⁡(G)=a:b\deg(F):\deg(G)=a:b. Then [F,G]=0[F,G]=0. This is presented as a conjecture equivalent to the two-dimensional Jacobian conjecture, and the parser supplies no evidence of resolution.
