Theorem · version 2

No polynomial inverse for the three-variable witness

Statement

There exists a polynomial map F: Q3\mathbb Q^3 → Q3\mathbb Q^3 with constant Jacobian determinant −2 and no two-sided polynomial compositional inverse.

Assumptions

  • Polynomial maps and composition are taken over ℚ.

Scope

The source witnesses this existence statement using the three-variable counterexample. Analytic derivative correspondence and further geometric interpretations are outside this formal result.
