Shestakov-Umirbaev reductions and Nagata's conjecture on a polynomial automorphism

In 2003, Shestakov-Umirbaev solved Nagata's conjecture on an automorphism of a polynomial ring. In the present paper, we reconstruct their theory by using the "generalized Shestakov-Umirbaev inequality", which was recently given by the author. As a consequence, we obtain a more precise tameness criterion for polynomial automorphisms. In particular, we show that no tame automorphism of a polynomial ring admits a reduction of type IV.

Automorphisms of a polynomial ring which admit reductions of type I

Recently, Shestakov-Umirbaev solved Nagata's conjecture on an automorphism of a polynomial ring. To solve the conjecture, they defined notions called reductions of types I--IV for automorphisms of a polynomial ring. An automorphism admitting a reduction of type I was first found by Shestakov-Umirbaev. Using a computer, van den Essen--Makar-Limanov--Willems gave a family of such automorphisms. In this paper, we present a new construction of such automorphisms using locally nilpotent derivations. As a consequence, we discover that there exists an automorphism admitting a reduction of type I which satisfies some degree condition for each possible value.
