The Nagata automorphism is shifted linearizable (Q1014581)

This interesting paper deals with the study of automorphism group of the affine space \(\mathbb{A}^n\). The case \(n\geq 3\) is known to be quite difficult. The famous Nagata automorphism \((X,Y,Z)\mapsto(X-2Y. \Delta-Z\Delta^2,Y+Z\Delta,Z)\), where \(\Delta=XZ+Y^2\) was proved by Umirbaev-Shestakov to be non-tame. The authors prove that after composing this automorphism by a suitable diagonal linear map \((X,Y,Z) \mapsto(aX,bY,cZ)\) the result is actually linearizable. The authors discuss other conjectures due to A. Dubouloz about the automorphism group \(\mathbb{A}^n\), like ``tamizability'' of any automorphism of \(\mathbb{A}^n\), tamizability of the Nagata automorphism using automorphisms of \(\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]\) fixing \(\mathbb{Z}\), etc.
