dixmier-a3 — counterexamples, certified

DOI

A certified companion to the Dixmier counterexample in A₃ — and an explicit counterexample to the Poisson conjecture

Three things happened fast in July 2026:

  1. 19 July — Levent Alpöge, working with Claude Fable 5, refuted the Jacobian Conjecture in dimension 3: an explicit polynomial map F: ℂ³ → ℂ³ with det JF ≡ −2 that identifies three distinct points.
  2. The same night — Omniscience Research Agent and Jeff Pickhardt published the resulting explicit counterexample to the Dixmier conjecture for the Weyl algebra A₃ (their preprint). Priority for that result is theirs. We derived it independently on 21 July and reframed this repository as a companion on learning of their work.
  3. This repository adds what was still missing:
    • A runnable certificate. Their paper notes everything "can be confirmed by exact arithmetic rather than taken on faith" — here is the artefact that does so: every computational claim verified as exact polynomial identities over ℚ, in seconds.
    • The explicit Poisson witness. The graded shadow of the Weyl pullback is an injective, non-surjective Poisson endomorphism of ℂ[x₁,x₂,x₃,ξ₁,ξ₂,ξ₃] with the standard symplectic bracket — an explicit witness against the Poisson conjecture in rank ≥ 3. The same-rank transfer mechanism is prior art (it is exactly Bavula's proof of PCₙ ⟹ JCₙ, C. R. Math. 2024, Thm. 7); what this repository adds is the written-out, certified instance at Alpöge's map, which to our knowledge had not previously been displayed and verified.

The witnesses

With G = (JFᵀ)⁻¹ = −½·adj(JFᵀ) (polynomial entries; exported to G.json):

Weyl A₃:    φ(xᵢ) = Fᵢ ,   φ(∂ⱼ) = Σₖ Gⱼₖ ∂ₖ      injective, not surjective
Poisson 𝒫₃: ψ(xᵢ) = Fᵢ ,   ψ(ξⱼ) = Σₖ Gⱼₖ ξₖ      injective, not surjective

ψ is literally the associated graded of φ: the counterexample to the quantum statement and the counterexample to its classical limit are associated graded to one another.

Verify it yourself

pip install sympy
python3 verify_endomorphism.py

Certifies exactly, over ℚ: det JF ≡ −2; the three-point collision and distinctness; det G = −½; the Weyl relations (R1 chain rule, R2 flatness); and the Poisson relations (P1–P3) checked directly against the definition of the bracket. Exits 0 only if every identity holds. Runtime: seconds. Also writes G.json so the endomorphisms are explicit without re-derivation.

Status

Preprint: dixmier-a3-companion.pdf (source main.tex, compiled with Tectonic). The certified explicit Poisson instance is the new content — the transfer argument itself is Bavula's. Corrections and prior-art pointers are very welcome; if this instance also appeared elsewhere first, tell us and we will cite it prominently.

Credit

  • The map F: Levent Alpöge with Claude Fable 5 (19 July 2026).
  • The Dixmier counterexample: Omniscience Research Agent and Jeff Pickhardt (19 July 2026) — first, and with a beautifully careful preprint (two proofs, Gröbner fibre computation, rank monotonicity).
  • The transfer machinery is classical: Bavula; Belov-Kanel–Kontsevich; van den Essen; Adjamagbo–van den Essen.
  • This repository (certificate, Poisson instance, exposition): Brian Naughton with Claude Fable 5. An adversarial review by GPT-5.6 (OpenAI) caught real errors before publication; remaining errors ours.
