The strong Anick conjecture.
Recently, Umirbaev proved the long-standing Anick conjecture, that is, there exist wild automorphisms of the free associative algebra Kx, y, z over a field K of characteristic 0. In particular, the well known Anick automorphism is wild. In this work, we obtain a stronger result (the Strong Anick Conjecture that implies the Anick Conjecture). Namely, we prove that there exist wild coordinates of Kx, y, z. In particular, the two nontrivial coordinates in the Anick automorphism are both wild. We establish a similar result for several large classes of automorphisms of Kx, y, z. We also discover a large, previously undescribed class of wild automorphisms of Kx, y, z that is not covered by the results of Umirbaev.
