Relations between the leading terms of a polynomial automorphism

Abstract: Let

I

be the ideal of relations between the leading terms of the polynomials defining an automorphism of

K^{n}

. In this paper, we prove the existence of a locally nilpotent derivation which preserves

I

. Moreover, if

I

is principal, i.e.

I = (R)

, we compute an upper bound for

d e g_{2} (R)

for some degree function

d e g_{2}

defined by the automorphism. As applications, we determine all the principal ideals of relations for automorphisms of

K^{3}

and deduce two elementary proofs of the Jung-van der Kulk Theorem about the tameness of automorphisms of

K^{2}

.
