The Hessian conjecture for formal Legendre transforms
Let be a field of characteristic , let be a polynomial whose Hessian determinant is a nonzero constant, and let be its formal Legendre transform, defined from the formal inverse of . Hessian conjecture. Then is also a polynomial. The conjecture is known when and the Hessian matrix of is positive or negative definite somewhere, and is equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture; the general case therefore remains open.
