Nov 25, 2019 at 3:40 comment added user237522 @YCor, thank you for the clarification.
Nov 24, 2019 at 19:04 comment added YCor What I meant was the following natural problem: characterize, if possible in an "algorithmic" way, those pairs $(u(x,y),v(x,y)$ that are induced by some automorphism. Typically computing a Jacobian is what I mean by "algorithmic".
Nov 24, 2019 at 14:29 comment added user237522 @YCor, please, could you elaborate on one of your previous comments: "But in Cremona 'describe the group' can have a totally different meaning. E.g., it can consist in describing the set of pairs of rational functions that indeed define a element of the Cremona group..."
Nov 24, 2019 at 14:26 comment added user237522 @YCor, you are right... but at least it is a finite product of such, though writing a general pair (as a pair of elements of $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$) is impossible... Any other suggestions? (Or a similar result for a pair of polynomials not being a Jacobian pair?).
Nov 24, 2019 at 13:58 comment added YCor But an automorphism of $C[x,y]$ is not always affine or triangular...

Nov 24, 2019 at 13:51 comment added user237522 @YCor, thanks, good question.. Perhaps something similar to 'a general form' of a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphism of $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ (affine or triangular). But other types of answers are welcome too. (Actually, I wished to restrict to the case where $\operatorname{Jac}(u,v) \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]-\mathbb{C}$ to exclude, by Keller's theorem, automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$; I will add this).
Nov 24, 2019 at 12:59 comment added YCor What do you mean by "a general form"?
