Jan 1, 2023 at 23:55 comment added E. KOW The paper seems to deal only with k points, no? The conclusion there for n=1 is it's just affine transformations
Jan 1, 2023 at 20:35 comment added abx Yes, this has been worked out (more generally for $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{A}^n) $) by Shafarevitch, On some infinite-dimensional groups II, Math. USSR-Izvestyia, Vol. 18, 1982, pp. 185-194.
Jan 1, 2023 at 20:14 comment added E. KOW Thanks @abx! Is there a description of $Aut \mathbb{A}^1$ as an ind group scheme?

Jan 1, 2023 at 5:05 comment added abx @Tom Goodwillie: Oops, you are right of course! It should be $x\mapsto x+\varepsilon x^n$ with $n\geq 3$.
Dec 31, 2022 at 21:54 comment added Tom Goodwillie @abx Are you sure? It seems to me that when $\varepsilon^2=0$ then this is the fractional linear transformation $x\mapsto \frac{x}{1-\varepsilon x}$. (In the other affine line with coordinate $y=1/x$ it is $y\mapsto y-\varepsilon$.)
Dec 31, 2022 at 20:15 comment added abx No, it's not. Take a field $K$ and put $R:=K[\varepsilon ]/(\varepsilon ^2)$. Then $x\mapsto x+\varepsilon x^2$ is an automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^1_R$ which does not extend to an automorphism of $\mathbb{P}^1_R$.
