Observations on the two dimensional Jacobian Conjecture

Abstract

The two dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a morphism $f:\mathbb{C}[x,y]\to \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ having an invertible Jacobian, is invertible. We show that a morphism $f$ having an invertible Jacobian is invertible, in each of the following two special cases: The degree of $f(x)$ is $\le 2$; The $(0,1)$-degrees or $(1,0)$-degrees of all monomials in $f(x)$ are of the same parity. In each case there is no restriction on the degree of $f(y)$ nor on the parity of the $(0,1)$-degrees or $(1,0)$-degrees of its monomials.
