The tame automorphism group in two variables over basic Artinian rings (Q986528)

In the recent preprint ``Stable tameness of two-dimensional polynomial automorphisms over a regular ring'', \textit{J. Berson, A. van der Essen} and \textit{D. Wright} [\url{arXiv:0707.3151}] established that over an Artinian \(\mathbb Q\)-algebra \(R\) all automorphisms of the polynomial algebra \(R[X,Y]\) with Jacobian determinant equal to one are tame. In the paper under review the author shows that the assumption that \(R\) is a \(\mathbb Q\)-algebra is essential. He gives a complete description of the group of tame automorphisms of \(R[X,Y]\) when \(R\) is a local Artinian ring with square-zero principal maximal ideal. Then the author constructs an explicit example of a wild automorphism of \(R[X,Y]\) for \(R={\mathbb F}_p[T]/(T^2)\) for any prime \(p\).
