On the automorphism group of the first Weyl algebra.

Abstract: Let

A_{1} := k [t, p a r t i a l]

be the first algebra over a field

k

of characteristic zero. One can associate to each right ideal

I

of

A_{1}

its Stafford subgroup, which is a subgroup of

A u t_{k} (A_{1})

, the automorphism group of the ring

A_{1}

. In this article we show that each Stafford subgroup is equal to its normalizer. For that, we study when the Stafford subgroup of a right ideal of

A_{1}

contains a given Stafford subgroup.
