The C1C^1 unipotent Jacobian univalence conjecture

Let f:RnRnf:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n be a C1C^1 map, and let J(f)J(f) denote its Jacobian matrix. A matrix is unipotent when all its eigenvalues are 11. The C1C^1 unipotent Jacobian univalence conjecture. If J(f)J(f) is unipotent, then ff is injective. The conjecture is known for n=2n=2 and, if established for all nn, would imply the Jacobian Conjecture. The paper notes that the stronger bijectivity version has no known counterexample.
