A simple proof of Jung's theorem on polynomial automorphisms of C^2

Abstract: The Automorphism Theorem, discovered first by Jung in 1942, asserts that if

k

is a field, then every polynomial automorphism of

k^{2}

is a finite product of linear automorphisms and automorphisms of the form

(x, y) m a p s t o (x + p (y), y)

for

p i n k [y]

. We present here a simple proof for the case

k = C

by using Newton-Puiseux expansions.
