On Automorphisms of the Affine Cremona Group

Algebraic Geometry 2016-11-24 v2

Abstract

We show that every automorphism of the group Gn:=Aut(An)\mathcal{G}_n:= \textrm{Aut}(\mathbb{A}^n) of polynomial automorphisms of complex affine nn-space An=Cn\mathbb{A}^n=\mathbb{C}^n is inner up to field automorphisms when restricted to the subgroup TGnT \mathcal{G}_n of tame automorphisms. This generalizes a result of \textsc{Julie Deserti} who proved this in dimension n=2n=2 where all automorphisms are tame: TG2=G2T \mathcal{G}_2 = \mathcal{G}_2.
