Abstract

We prove that every K-endomorphism of a rank 2 polynomial algebra over an algebraically closed field K of positive characteristic taking all linear coordinates to coordinates is an automorphism. We give a new characterization of coordinates of K[t][x, y], where K is an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. We also explore the close connection between coordinates and permutation polynomials of finite fields.
