Abstract: In a recent paper it has been established that over an Artinian ring R all two-dimensional polynomial automorphisms having Jacobian determinant one are tame if R is a Q-algebra. This is a generalization of the famous Jung-Van der Kulk Theorem, which deals with the case that R is a field (of any characteristic). Here we will show that for tameness over an Artinian ring, the Q-algebra assumption is really needed: we will give, for local Artinian rings with square-zero principal maximal ideal, a complete description of the tame automorphism subgroup. This will lead to an example of a non-tame automorphism, for any characteristic p>0.


In the recent preprint ``Stable tameness of two-dimensional polynomial automorphisms over a regular ring, \textit{J. Berson, A. van der Essen} and \textit{D. Wright} [\url{arXiv:0707.3151}] established that over an Artinian \(\mathbb Q\)-algebra \(R\) all automorphisms of the polynomial algebra \(R[X,Y]\) with Jacobian determinant equal to one are tame. In the paper under review the author shows that the assumption that \(R\) is a \(\mathbb Q\)-algebra is essential. He gives a complete description of the group of tame automorphisms of \(R[X,Y]\) when \(R\) is a local Artinian ring with square-zero principal maximal ideal. Then the author constructs an explicit example of a wild automorphism of \(R[X,Y]\) for \(R={\mathbb F}_p[T]/(T^2)\) for any prime \(p\).
