The structured Newton-polygon conjecture for Jacobian pairs

Let R=C[x,y]\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{C}[x,y]. For positive integers m,nm,n, let Rm,nR_{m,n} be the set of polynomials whose Newton polygon is Rectm,n\operatorname{Rect}_{m,n} and whose coefficient of xmynx^my^n is 11. Let

Q={(a,b,m,n)Z>04:am, an, gcd(a,b)=1, 2a<b}.\mathcal{Q}=\{(a,b,m,n)\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^4:a\mid m,\ a\mid n,\ \gcd(a,b)=1,\ 2\leq a<b\}.

The structured Newton-polygon conjecture. Suppose (a,b,m,n)Q(a,b,m,n)\in\mathcal{Q} and F,GRF,G\in\mathcal{R} satisfy [F,G]C[F,G]\in\mathbb{C}, FRm,nF\in R_{m,n}, and GRbm/a,bn/aG\in R_{bm/a,bn/a}. Then [F,G]=0[F,G]=0. This is introduced as a stronger structured form that implies the preceding conjecture and hence the Jacobian conjecture; no resolution is supplied.
