Let X be an affine irreducible variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Given an automorphism F, we denote by k(X)^F its field of invariants, i.e. the set of rational functions f on X such that f(F)=f. Let n(F)…

We consider the algebra $A_N=k\langle x, y\rangle/(yx-xy-x^N)$, with $k$ a field of characteristic zero and $N$ a positive integer. Our main result is a complete description of the first Hochschild cohomology $\operatorname{HH}^1(A_N)$ of…

We study z-automorphisms of the polynomial algebra K[x,y,z] and the free associative algebra K<x,y,z> over a field K, i.e., automorphisms which fix the variable z. We survey some recent results on such automorphisms and on the corresponding…
