Abstract

Let \({Y=(f,g,h){:} \mathbb{R}^{3} \to \mathbb{R}^{3}}\) be a C 2 map and let Spec(Y) denote the set of eigenvalues of the derivative DY p , when p varies in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) . We begin proving that if, for some ϵ > 0, \({Spec(Y)\cap (-\epsilon,\epsilon)=\emptyset,}\) then the foliation \({\mathcal{F}(k),}\) with \({k\in \{f,g,h\},}\) made up by the level surfaces {k = constant}, consists just of planes. As a consequence, we prove a bijectivity result related to the three-dimensional case of Jelonek’s Jacobian Conjecture for polynomial maps of \({\mathbb{R}^n.}\)
