Abstract: We prove that the subgroup of triangular automorphisms of the complex affine

n

-space is maximal among all solvable subgroups of

m a t h r m A u t (m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b C}^{n})

for every

n

. In particular, it is a Borel subgroup of

m a t h r m A u t (m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b C}^{n})

, when the latter is viewed as an ind-group. In dimension two, we prove that the triangular subgroup is a maximal closed subgroup. Nevertheless, it is not maximal among all subgroups of

m a t h r m A u t (m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b C}^{2})

. Given an automorphism

f

of

m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b C}^{2}

, we study the question whether the group generated by

f

and the triangular subgroup is equal to the whole group

m a t h r m A u t (m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b C}^{2})

.
