Derivations of R[X,Y,Z] with a slice

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2654056





The author considers locally nilpotent derivations \(D\) on \(R[X,Y,Z]\) having a slice (which is an element \(s\) such that \(D(s)=1\)). He considers the case where \(R\) is a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero. The central question is: is the kernel \(A\) of \(D\) isomorphic to \(R^{[2]}\)? It is shown that \(A\) is an \(\mathbb A^2\)-fibration over \(R\). The author gives a family of interesting examples: define \(R:=k[a,b]\cong k^{[2]}\), \(T_n:=a^nY+bZ+X^2\), \(v_n:=bX+a^nT_n\), \(t_n:=Z+bv_nY-2v_nXT_n-bv_n^2T_n^2\) and \(\varphi_n\) a locally nilpotent derivation on \(R[X,Y,Z]\) by \(\varphi_n(X)=-a^n\), \(\varphi_n(Y)=2(X+bv_nT_n)\), \(\varphi_n(Z)=1-2a^nv_nT_n\).
