Emmy-Noether-Seminar: Solvable subgroups of the automorphism group of an affine space

Solvable subgroups of the automorphism group of an affine space

Andriy Regeta (Jena)

Abstract: The automorphism group Aut(A^n) of the affine n-space A^n is an infinite-dimensional group if n>1. This group is well studied if n=2, but very little is known about its structure in higher dimensions. In this talk I will discuss some recent progress about the structure of Aut(A^n) if n>2 with special emphasis on the structure of solvable subgroups of Aut(A^n).
