The generation conjecture for three-dimensional polynomial automorphisms fixing one variable
The generation conjecture for three-dimensional polynomial automorphisms fixing one variable
Let be the field appearing in the polynomial automorphism group . An automorphism fixing one variable is a polynomial automorphism that leaves one coordinate variable unchanged. Generation conjecture. The group
is generated by the automorphisms fixing one variable. This is presented as one of several conjectures about generating sets of polynomial automorphism groups; over fields such as and , the surrounding discussion notes that every automorphism fixing one variable is even, so an odd automorphism would disprove the conjecture.
