Abstract: We study the group Tame(SL${}_2$) of tame automorphisms of a smooth affine 3-dimensional quadric, which we can view as the underlying variety of SL(2,$mathbbC$). We construct a square complex on which the group admits a natural cocompact action, and we prove that the complex is CAT(0) and hyperbolic. We propose two applications of this construction: We show that any finite subgroup in Tame(SL${}_2$) is linearizable, and that Tame(SL${}_2$) satisfies the Tits alternative.
