Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We describe all automorphisms of a free metabelian anticommutative algebra of rank \(n\geq 3\) over a field $K$ that move only one variable while fixing the others. Such automorphisms are called Chein automorphisms in the cases of free metabelian groups and free metabelian Lie algebras. We show that all automorphisms of a free metabelian anticommutative algebra of rank \(n=2\) are linear, and that the simplest non elementary Chein automorphism of degree \(3\) is absolutely wild for all \(n\geq 3\).
