Test elements, retracts and automorphic orbits.

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let A2 be a free associative or polynomial algebra of rank two over a field K of characteristic zero. Based on the degree estimate of Makar-Limanov and J.-T.Yu, we prove: 1) An element pinA2 is a test element if p does not belong to any proper retract of A2; 2) Every endomorphism preserving the automorphic orbit of a nonconstant element of A2 is an automorphism.
