VLADIMIR SHPILRAIN AND JIE-TAI YUAbstract. Let K[x,y] be the polynomial algebra in two variables over a fieldK of characteristic 0. A subalgebra R of K[x,y] is called a retract if there is anidempotent homomorphism (a retraction, or projection) ϕ : K[x,y] → K[x,y] suchthat ϕ(K[x,y]) = R. The presence of other, equivalent, definitions of retractsprovides several different methods of studying them, and brings together ideasfrom combinatorial algebra, homological algebra, and algebraic geometry. In thispaper, we characterize all the retracts of K[x,y] up to an automorphism, andgive several applications of this characterization, in particular, to the well-knownJacobian conjecture. Notably, we prove that if a polynomial mapping ϕ of K[x,y]has invertible Jacobian matrix and fixes a non-constant polynomial, then ϕ is anautomorphism.
