Abstract

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, let A1=K[x][]A_1=K[x][\partial ] be the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we prove the following two results. Assume there exists a non-zero polynomial f(X,Y)K[X,Y]f(X,Y)\in K[X,Y], which has a non-trivial solution (P,Q)A12(P,Q)\in A_{1}^{2} with [P,Q]=0[P,Q]=0, and the number of orbits under the group action of Aut(A1)Aut(A_1) on solutions of ff in A12A_{1}^{2} is finite. Then the Dixmier conjecture holds, i.e φEnd(A1){0}\forall \varphi\in End(A_{1})-\{0\}, φ\varphi is an automorphism. Assume φ\varphi is an endomorphism of monomial type (in particular, it is not an automorphism, see theorem 4.1). Then it has no non-trivial fixed point, i.e. there are no PA1P\in A_1, PKP\notin K, s.t. φ(P)=P\varphi (P)=P.

Comments

V3: 15 p, a significally elaborated version; the proof of the main result from V1 is greatly simplified, the second result is based on a part of the previous proof; important references added
