There are nontrivial dualities and parallels between polynomial algebras and the Grassmann algebras (e.g., the Grassmann algebras are dual of polynomial algebras as quadratic algebras). This paper is an attempt to look at the Grassmann algebras at the angle of the Jacobian conjecture for polynomial algebras (which is the question/conjecture about the $$Jacobian set– the set of all algebra endomorphisms of a polynomial algebra with the Jacobian $1$ – the Jacobian conjecture claims that the Jacobian...

We prove that the study of the Łojasiewicz exponent at infinity of overdetermined polynomial mappings $ℂⁿ\to {ℂ}^m$, m > n, can be reduced to the one when m = n.

Assume that X,Y are integral noetherian affine schemes. Let f:X → Y be a dominant, generically finite morphism of finite type. We show that the set of points at which the morphism f is not finite is either empty or a hypersurface. An example is given to show that this is no longer true in the non-noetherian case.

The tame generators problem asked if every invertible polynomial map is tame, i.e. a finite composition of so-called elementary maps. Recently in [8] it was shown that the classical Nagata automorphism in dimension 3 is not tame. The proof is long and very technical. The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas of that proof.

Recently Umirbaev has proved the long-standing Anick conjecture, that is, there exist wild automorphisms of the free associative algebra $K\langle x,y,z\rangle$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0. In particular, the well-known Anick automorphism is wild. In this article we obtain a stronger result (the Strong Anick Conjecture that implies the Anick Conjecture). Namely, we prove that there exist wild coordinates of $K\langle x,y,z\rangle$. In particular, the two nontrivial coordinates in the Anick automorphism are both wild. We establish a...

We discuss several additional properties a power linear Keller map may have. The Structural Conjecture of Drużkowski (1983) asserts that certain two such properties are equivalent, but we show that one of them is stronger than the other. We even show that the property of linear triangularizability is strictly in between. Furthermore, we give some positive results for small dimensions and small Jacobian ranks.

Let d be any integer greater than or equal to 3. We show that the intersection of the set mdeg(Aut(ℂ³))∖ mdeg(Tame(ℂ³)) with {(d₁,d₂,d₃) ∈ (ℕ ₊)³: d = d₁ ≤ d₂≤ d₃} has infinitely many elements, where mdeg h = (deg h₁,...,deg hₙ) denotes the multidegree of a polynomial mapping h = (h₁,...,hₙ): ℂⁿ → ℂⁿ. In other words, we show that there are infinitely many wild multidegrees of the form (d,d₂,d₃), with fixed d ≥ 3 and d ≤ d₂ ≤ d₃, where a sequence (d₁,...,dₙ)∈ ℕ ⁿ is a wild multidegree if there is...
