Abstract:
In this paper we consider the Jacobian conjecture for a map of complex affine spaces of dimension . It is well known that if is proper, then the conjecture will hold. Using topological arguments, specifically Smith theory, we show that the conjecture holds if and only if is proper onto its image.
