Kulikov, Valentin S. The Jacobian conjecture and nilpotent maps. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1011.14020 J. Math.

The paper is devoted to the next equivalent condition to the Jacobian conjecture. A polynomial mapping \(N=(N_1,\dots ,N_n):\mathbb C^n \to \mathbb C^n\) is called nilpotent iff its jacobian matrix is nilpotent, i.e. \(\Biggl(\frac{\partial N_i}{\partial X_j}\Biggr)^m=0\).The author proves that the Jacobian conjecture for every \(n\) is equivalent to the fact that for every \(n\) any nilpotent mapping of \(\mathbb C^n\) has at most one fixed point. He also verifies this new conjecture in some particular classes of mappings.
