Abstract

This paper investigates the isotropy groups of derivations on the Quantum Plane kq[x,y]\Bbbk_q[x, y], defined by the relation yx=qxyyx = qxy, where qkq \in \Bbbk^*, with q21q^2\neq 1. The main goal is to determine the automorphisms of the Quantum Plane that commutes with a fixed derivation δ\delta. We describe conditions under which the isotropy group Autδ(A)\text{Aut}_\delta(A) is trivial, finite, or infinite, depending on the structure of δ\delta and whether qq is a root of unity: additionally, we present the structure of the group in the finite case. A key tool is the analysis of polynomial equations of the form μ1aμ2b=1\mu_1^a \mu_2^b = 1, arising from monomials in the inner part of δ\delta. We also make explicit which finite subgroups of Aut(kq[x,y])Aut(\Bbbk_q[x, y]) are isotropy groups of some derivation: either qq root of unity or not. Techniques from algebraic geometry, such as intersection multiplicity, are also employed in the classification of the finite case.
