The Linear Artin Approximation Theorem

Let (R,m,k)(R,m,k) be a complete local ring. Suppose a system of finitely many equations in tt variables over RR has a solution Z\underline{Z} modulo mlm^l. Let JJ be the ideal generated by the polynomials defining the equations, and assume that

JR=(0).J\cap R=(0).

Linear Artin Approximation Theorem. Then the system has a true solution U\underline{U} such that

ZUm\floorl/cRt,\underline{Z}-\underline{U}\in m^{\floor{l/c}}R^t,

where cc is a constant independent of ll. The authors describe this as a conjecture whose use would simplify their proof of the main result; its resolution status is not established in the supplied text.
