Abstract

Explicit generators are found for the group G2 of automorphisms of the algebra of one-sided inverses of a polynomial algebra in two variables over a field. Moreover, it is proved that

where S2 is the symmetric group, is the 2-dimensional algebraic torus, E∞() is the subgroup of GL∞() generated by the elementary matrices. In the proof, we use and prove several results on the index of an operator. The final argument is the proof of the fact that K1() ≃ K*. The algebras and are noncommutative, non-Noetherian, and not domains.
