Abstract

We study z-automorphisms of the polynomial algebra K[x, y, z] and the free associative algebra K[x, y, z]over a field K, i.e., automorphisms that fix the variable z. We survey some recent results on such automorphisms and on the corresponding coordinates. For K[x, y, z] we include also results about the structure of the z-tame automorphisms and algorithms that recognize z-tame automorphisms and z-tame coordinates.
