On automorphisms of affine superspaces

Abstract

In this note, we propose a super version of Jacobian conjecture on the automorphisms of affine superspaces over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $0$, which predicts that for a homomorphism $\phi$ of the polynomial superalgebra $\mathcal{R}:=\mathbb{F}[x_1,\dots ,x_m;{\xi }_1,\dots ,{\xi }_m]$ over $\mathbb{F}$, if $\phi$ satisfies the super version of Jacobian condition (SJ for short), then $\phi$ gives rise to an automorphism of the affine superspace ${\mathbb{A}}_{\mathbb{F}}^{m|n}$. We verify the conjecture if additionally, the set $\mathcal{M}$ of maximal ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-homogeneous ideals of $\mathcal{R}$ is assumed to be preserved under $\phi$. The statement is actually proved in any characteristic, i.e. a homomorphism $\phi$ gives rise to an automorphism of ${\mathbb{A}}_{\mathbb{F}}^{m|n}$ if SJ is satisfied with $\phi$ and the set $\mathcal{M}$ is preserved under $\phi$ for an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of any characteristic.
