We obtain two equivalent conditions for m polynomials in n variables to form a p-basis of a ring of constants of some polynomial K-derivation, where K is a unique factorization domain of characteristic p > 0. One of these conditions involves Jacobians while the other some properties of factors. In the case m = n this extends the known theorem of Nousiainen, and we obtain a new formulation of the Jacobian conjecture in positive characteristic.

Let F=X-H:$k^n$ → $k^n$ be a polynomial map with H homogeneous of degree 3 and nilpotent Jacobian matrix J(H). Let G=(G1,...,Gn) be the formal inverse of F. Bass, Connell and Wright proved in [1] that the homogeneous component of $G_i$ of degree 2d+1 can be expressed as $G_i^{\left(d\right)}={\sum }_T\alpha {\left(T\right)}^{-1}{\sigma }_i\left(T\right)$, where T varies over rooted trees with d vertices, α(T)=CardAut(T) and ${\sigma }_i\left(T\right)$ is a polynomial defined by (1) below. The Jacobian Conjecture states that, in our situation, $F$ is an automorphism or, equivalently, $G_i^{\left(d\right)}$ is zero for sufficiently large d....

We introduce and study a deformation of commutative polynomial algebras in even numbers of variables. We also discuss some connections and applications of this deformation to the generalized Laguerre orthogonal polynomials and the interchanges of right and left total symbols of differential operators of polynomial algebras. Furthermore, a more conceptual re-formulation for the image conjecture [18] is also given in terms of the deformed algebras. Consequently, the well-known Jacobian conjecture...

We first propose a generalization of the notion of Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras $$𝒜$$ , which was introduced recently in [Zhao W., Generalizations of the image conjecture and the Mathieu conjecture, J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 2010, 214(7), 1200–1216] and [Zhao W., Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras], to $$𝒜$$ -modules $$ℳ$$ . The newly introduced notion in a certain sense also generalizes the notion of submodules. Related with this new notion, we also introduce the sets σ(N) and τ(N) of stable...

We give a shorter proof to a recent result by Neuberger [Rocky Mountain J. Math. 36 (2006)], in the real case. Our result is essentially an application of the global asymptotic stability Jacobian Conjecture. We also extend some of the results of Neuberger's paper.

It is shown that every polynomial function P:ℂ² → ℂ with irreducible fibres of the same genus must be a coordinate. Consequently, there do not exist counterexamples F = (P,Q) to the Jacobian conjecture such that all fibres of P are irreducible curves with the same genus.
