We study wildness of automorphisms of a polynomial ring in three variables in detail using the Shestakov-Umirbaev theory and its generalization.

We provide explicit families of tame automorphisms of the complex affine three-space which degenerate to wild automorphisms. This shows that the tame subgroup of the group of polynomial automorphisms of $\C^3$ is not closed, when the latter…

An automorphism $F$ of the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field of characteristic zero is said to be {\it co-tame} if the subgroup of the automorphism group of the polynomial ring generated by $F$ and affine automorphisms contains…

In this paper, we introduce two generalizations of the tame subgroup of the automorphism group of a polynomial ring over a domain of positive characteristic. We study detailed structures of these new `tame subgroups' in the case of two…

It is proved that the tame automorphism group of a differential polynomial algebra $k\{x,y\}$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ in two variables $x,y$ with $m$ commuting derivations $\delta_1, \ldots, \delta_m$ is a free product with…

Let us consider a polynomial algebra in three variables equipped with an integer grading. We construct a system of group-generating automorphisms that preserve a given grading.

In this paper, we discuss subgroups of the automorphism group of the polynomial ring in n variables over a field of characteristic zero. An automorphism F is said to be co-tame if the subgroup generated by F and affine automorphisms…

We introduce an extension of the (tame) polynomial automorphism group over finite fields: the profinite (tame) polynomial automorphism group, which is obtained by putting a natural topology on the automorphism group. We show that most known…

We are concerned with polynomial involutions in characteristic two. In this note, we look for involutions among triangular automorphisms of the four-dimensional polynomial ring in characteristic two and obtain three types of such…

We define a family of polynomial ring homomorphisms generalizing the well-known Nagata automorphism. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which these homomorphisms are automorphisms, and verify that they satisfy the…

We construct an Anick type wild automorphism $\delta$ in a 3-generated free Poisson algebra which induces a tame automorphism in a 3-generated polynomial algebra. We also show that $\delta$ is stably tame. Dedicated to the memory of…

A polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^n$ over a field of characteristic zero is called co-tame if, together with the affine subgroup, it generates the entire tame subgroup. We prove some new classes of automorphisms, including…

In 2004 Shestakov and Umirbaev proved that the Nagata automorphism of the polynomial algebra in three variables is wild. We fix a Z-grading on this algebra and consider graded-wild automorphisms, i.e. such automorphisms that can not be…

We say that a polynomial automorphism $\phi $ in $n$ variables is stably co-tame if the tame subgroup in $n$ variables is contained in the subgroup generated by $\phi $ and affine automorphisms in $n+1$ variables. In this paper, we give…

For automorphisms of a polynomial ring in two variables over a domain R, we show that local tameness implies global tameness provided that every 2-generated invertible R-module is free. We give many examples illustrating this property.

An automorphism of a compact complex space is called wild in the sense of Reichstein--Rogalski--Zhang if there is no non-trivial proper invariant analytic subset. We show that a compact complex surface admitting a wild automorphism must be…

We prove the existence of wild automorphisms on an affine quadric threefold. The method we use is an adaptation of the one used by Shestakov and Umirbaev to prove the existence of wild automorphisms on the affine three dimensional space.

We study the structure of length three polynomial automorphisms of $R[X,Y]$ when $R$ is a UFD. These results are used to prove that if $\text{SL}_m(R[X_1,X_2,..., X_n]) = \text{E}_m(R[X_1,X_2,..., X_n])$ for all $n,\ge 0$ and for all $m \ge…

A loop is automorphic if all its inner mappings are automorphisms. We construct a large family of automorphic loops as follows. Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $V$ an $R$-module, $E=\mathrm{End}_R(V)$ the ring of $R$-endomorphisms of $V$,…

We introduce the tame isotropy group of a derivation of a polynomial ring. We study this group for certain triangular derivations up to three variables, for simple derivations in two variables, and for simple Shamsuddin derivations in any…
