The Jacobian Conjecture

If F: ℂⁿ → ℂⁿ is a polynomial map with a non-zero constant Jacobian determinant, must F be globally invertible with a polynomial inverse?

Local Area Scale: |det J| represents how unit areas dilate/contract locally.

Non-Polynomial Counterexamples: Maps like (eˣ, y e⁻ˣ) have constant det=1 but fold locally / fail global invertibility!
