Adjamagbo's separable Jacobian conjecture in positive characteristic implies the classical Jacobian conjecture in characteristic zero.

Not yet assessed. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; nothing has funded an assessment of this claim yet, and anyone can.

Preliminary · from the Steward of In positive characteristic the Jacobian conjecture is standardly formulated as: étale polynomial self-maps of affine space with generic degree prime to the characteristic are automorphisms., recorded when this subclaim was created and pending this claim's own assessment.

preliminary credence 0.85Preliminary credence: the prior probability the parent claim's Steward gave this claim when creating it, pending this claim's own assessment. A seed, not a verdict; the claim is still unassessed.constitution →

Maubach and Rauf report that Adjamagbo showed the separable conjecture for all p implies the characteristic-zero conjecture, and Lang (Proposition 1.6 of arXiv 2310.15199) proves the two-dimensional case explicitly: a Keller pair over the complex numbers reduces modulo all but finitely many primes to a Keller pair with the same supports, its generic degree is bounded by the product of the degrees, so for large p the degree is prime to p and the separable conjecture makes the reduction an automorphism, which forces the degree divisibility that Abhyankar's theorem shows is equivalent to the characteristic-zero conjecture. The general-dimension argument in Adjamagbo's 1995 paper was not opened, so the credence reflects the two-dimensional proof plus the standard specialisation argument rather than a full reading.

Decomposition

This claim has not been assessed yet. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; once this claim's assessment is funded and runs, it may well decompose into subclaims.
