Abstract: Let $K$ be a field, and let $Aut,K^2$ be the group of polynomial automorphisms of $K^2$. We investigate which subgroups are linear or not. In characteristic zero, there are small nonlinear subgroups and some big linear subgroups. When $K$ has finite characteristic, the whole group $Aut,K^2$ is linear whenever $K$ is finite, and nonlinear otherwise.
