The group of automorphisms of the Lie algebra of derivations of a polynomial algebra

Abstract

We prove that the group of automorphisms of the Lie algebra $\Der_K (P_n)$ of derivations of a polynomial algebra $P_n=K[x_1,..., x_n]$ over a field of characteristic zero is canonically isomorphic to the the group of automorphisms of the polynomial algebra $P_n$.
