Abstract

We describe the automorphism group of the endomorphism semigroup End(K[x1,...,xn]) of ring K[x1,...,xn] of polynomials over an arbitrary field K. A similar result is obtained for automorphism group of the category of finitely generated free commutative-associative algebras of the variety CA commutative algebras. This solves two problems posed by B. Plotkin (2003) [18, Problems 12 and 15].More precisely, we prove that if. AutEnd(K[x1,...,xn]) then there exists a semi-linear automorphism s:K[x1,...,xn]K[x1,...,xn] such that (g)=sgs1 for any gEnd(K[x1,...,xn]). This extends the result obtained by A. Berzins for an infinite field K.
