The divergence obstruction for the two-variable reduction
Let be a monic polynomial of degree with distinct roots, and let and be the unique polynomials satisfying
with and . Let
where and are polynomials satisfying , and assume . Let be the formal differential operator associated with . Divergence obstruction. Then
The source says that, for this special class of two-variable polynomial maps, the Jacobian conjecture is equivalent to this assertion.
