The fixed-point criterion equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture
The fixed-point criterion equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture
Let satisfy . Suppose there exists an algebraic function defined on some open set such that , and suppose that has finite order. The fixed-point criterion equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture. The map has a fixed point. The source presents this fixed-point statement as equivalent to the Jacobian conjecture; the paper's surrounding discussion indicates that this formulation is proposed as a route to proving the conjecture, while the general Jacobian conjecture remains open.
