Polynomial Automorphisms and the Jacobian Conjecture

This book is an extension to Arno van den Essen's Polynomial Automorphisms and the Jacobian Conjecture published in 2000.  Many new exciting results have been obtained in the past two decades, including the solution of Nagata's Conjecture, the complete solution of Hilbert's fourteenth problem, the equivalence of the Jacobian Conjecture and the Dixmier Conjecture, the symmetric reduction of the Jacobian Conjecture, the theory of Mathieu-Zhao spaces and counterexamples to the Cancellation pro
