The author provides a unified treatment of the subject, beginning with 16 First Principles on which the theory is based. These are used to establish classical results, such as Rentschler's Theorem for the plane and the Cancellation Theorem for Curves. More recent results, such as Makar-Limanov's theorem for locally nilpotent derivations of polynomial rings, are also discussed. Topics of special interest include progress in classifying additive actions on three-dimensional affine space, finiteness questions (Hilbert's 14th Problem), algorithms, the Makar-Limanov invariant, and connections to the Cancellation Problem and the Embedding Problem. A lot of new material is includedin this expanded second edition, such as canonical factorization of quotient morphisms, and a more extended treatment of linear actions. The reader will also find a wealth of examples and open problems and an updated resource for future investigations. 410 0$aEncyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences ;$v136 606 $aCommutative algebra 606 $aCommutative rings 606 $aAlgebraic geometry 606 $aTopological groups 606 $aLie groups 606 $aCommutative Rings and Algebras 606 $aAlgebraic Geometry 606 $aTopological Groups and Lie Groups 615 0$aCommutative algebra. 615 0$aCommutative rings. 615 0$aAlgebraic geometry. 615 0$aTopological groups. 615 0$aLie groups. 615 14$aCommutative Rings and Algebras. 615 24$aAlgebraic Geometry. 615 24$aTopological Groups and Lie Groups. 676 $a512.44 700 $aFreudenburg$b Gene$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0624596 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910768450203321 996 $aAlgebraic theory of locally nilpotent derivations$91098820 997 $aUNINA
