It is proved that over every countable field K there is a nil algebra R such that the algebra obtained from R by extending the field K contains noncommutative free subalgebras of arbitrarily high rank. It is also shown that over every…

Let $f: \mathbb{C}[x,y] \to \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism having an invertible Jacobian. We show that for such $f$, if, in addition, the group of invertible elements of $\mathbb{C}[f(x),f(y),x][1/v] \subset…

We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of a domain with arbitrary characteristic. We use these techniques to describe for any field $K$ the automorphism group of $K[X,Y,Z]/(X^n Y - Z^2 - h(X)Z)$, where $h(0) \ne 0$ and $n \geq…

A conjecture of Miyanishi says that an endomorphism of an algebraic variety, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, is an automorphism if the endomorphism is injective outside a closed subset of codimension at…

We study authomorphisms of $Ind$-groups of polynomial automorphisms (wich are singular) via tame approximations. Such objects were pioneeered in research by B.I.Plotkin We obtain a number of properties of $Aut(Aut(A))$, where $A$ is the…

We describe the group of $\mathbb Z$-linear automorphisms of the ring of integers of a number field $K$ that preserve the set $V_{K,k}$ of $k$th power-free integers: every such map is the composition of a field automorphism and the…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. Let phi be a k-endomorphism of the polynomial algebra k[x_1,...,x_n]. It is known that phi is an automorphism if and only if it maps irreducible polynomials to irreducible polynomials. In this paper…

The well-known Dixmier conjecture asks if every algebra endomorphism of the first Weyl algebra over a characteristic zero field is an automorphism. We bring a hopefully easier to solve conjecture, called the $\gamma,\delta$ conjecture, and…

We give a simpler proof as well as a generalization of the main result of an article of Shestakov and Umirbaev. This latter article being the first of two that solve a long-standing conjecture about the non-tameness, or "wildness", of…

The Dixmier Conjecture says that every endomorphism of the (first) Weyl algebra $A_1$ (over a field of characteristic zero) is an automorphism, i.e., if $PQ-QP=1$ for some $P, Q \in A_1$ then $A_1 = K \langle P, Q \rangle$. The Weyl algebra…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0. We prove that the group of automorphisms of a free Poisson field $P(x,y)$ in two variables $x,y$ over $k$ is isomorphic to the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_2(k)$. We also prove that the…

We describe the automorphism group of the endomorphism semigroup $\End(K[x_1,...,x_n])$ of ring $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ of polynomials over an {\it arbitrary} field $K$. A similar result is obtained for automorphism group of the category of…

In a recent paper it has been established that over an Artinian ring R all two-dimensional polynomial automorphisms having Jacobian determinant one are tame if R is a Q-algebra. This is a generalization of the famous Jung-Van der Kulk…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $A_1=K[x][\partial ]$ be the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we prove that the Dixmier conjecture for the first Weyl algebra is true, i.e. each algebra endomorphism of the algebra $A_1$ is an…

We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras…

The famous Jacobian Conjecture asks if a morphism $f:K[x,y]\to K[x,y]$ with invertible Jacobian, is invertible ($K$ is a characteristic zero field). A known result says that if $K[f(x),f(y)] \subseteq K[x,y]$ is an integral extension, then…

To solve Nagata's conjecture, Shestakov-Umirbaev constructed a theory for deciding wildness of polynomial automorphisms in three variables. Recently, Kara\'s and others study multidegrees of polynomial automorphisms as an application of…

We give a counterexample to a conjecture by Miasnikov, Ventura and Weil, stating that an extension of free groups is algebraic if and only if the corresponding morphism of their core graphs is onto, for every basis of the ambient group. In…
