The divergence obstruction for the two-variable reduction

From papers

Let r(x)r(x) be a monic polynomial of degree N+1>1N+1>1 with distinct roots, and let λ(x)\lambda(x) and μ(x)\mu(x) be the unique polynomials satisfying

r(x)μ(x)+r(x)λ(x)=1,r(x)\mu(x)+r'(x)\lambda(x)=1,

with degμ(x)N1\deg\mu(x)\leq N-1 and degλ(x)N\deg\lambda(x)\leq N. Let

F1(z1,z2)=r(z1)H1(z1,z2)z2λ(z1)K2(z1,z2),F_1(z_1,z_2)=r(z_1)H_1(z_1,z_2)-z_2\lambda(z_1)K_2(z_1,z_2), F2(z1,z2)=r(z1)H2(z1,z2)+z2λ(z1)K1(z1,z2),F_2(z_1,z_2)=r(z_1)H_2(z_1,z_2)+z_2\lambda(z_1)K_1(z_1,z_2),

where HiH_i and KiK_i are polynomials satisfying H1K1+H2K2=1H_1K_1+H_2K_2=1, and assume F=(F1,F2)F1F=(F_1,F_2)\in\mathcal F_1. Let A=a(z)zA=a(z)\frac{\partial}{\partial z} be the formal differential operator associated with FF. Divergence obstruction. Then

A0.\triangledown A\neq 0.

The source says that, for this special class of two-variable polynomial maps, the Jacobian conjecture is equivalent to this assertion.
