Abstract

We show that the iterated images of a Jacobian pair f : ℂ2 → ℂ2 stabilize; that is, all the sets fk(ℂ 2) are equal for k sufficiently large. More generally, let X be a closed algebraic subset of ℂN, and let f : X → X be an open polynomial map with X - f(X) a finite set. We show that the sets f k(X) stabilize, and for any cofinite subset Ω ⊆ X with f(Ω) ⊆ Ω, the sets fk(Ω) stabilize. We apply these results to obtain a new characterization of the two dimensional complex Jacobian conjecture related to questions of surjectivity.
