Abstract
Let p(z) ∈ ℂ[z] be a polynomial of degree at least 2. The goal is to prove the following. Suppose that ∂ is a nonzero locally nilpotent derivation (LND for short) of the ℂ-algebra R generated by x, y, and z subject to a relation xy = p(z). Then the kernel of this derivation is a polynomial ring generated by the image of x under an automorphism of R.
