We study the LND conjecture concerning the images of locally nilpotent derivations, which arose from the Jacobian conjecture. Let be a domain containing a field of characteristic zero. We prove that, when is a one-dimensional unique factorization domain, the image of any locally nilpotent -derivation of the bivariate polynomial algebra is a Mathieu-Zhao subspace. Moreover, we prove that, when is a Dedekind domain, the image of a locally nilpotent -derivation of with some additional conditions...
We prove that an irreducible polynomial derivation in positive characteristic is a Jacobian derivation if and only if there exists an (n-1)-element p-basis of its ring of constants. In the case of two variables we characterize these derivations in terms of their divergence and some nontrivial constants.
