Abstract: A polynomial automorphism of mathbbAn over a field of characteristic zero is called co-tame if, together with the affine subgroup, it generates the entire tame subgroup. We prove some new classes of automorphisms, including 3-triangular automorphisms, are co-tame. Of particular interest, if n=3, we show that the statement "Every m-triangular automorphism is either affine or co-tame" is true if and only if mleq3; this improves upon positive results of Bodnarchuk (for mleq2, in any dimension n) and negative results of the authors (for mgeq6, n=3). The main technical tool we introduce is a class of maps we term 'translation degenerate automorphisms'; we show that all of these are co-tame, a result that may be of independent interest in the further study of co-tame automorphisms.
