Abstract

In this paper, we study the isotropy group of Lotka-Volterra derivations of K[x1,⋯,xn], i.e., a derivation d of the form d(xi)=xi(xi-1-Cixi+1). If n=3 or n ≥ 5, we have shown that the isotropy group of d is finite. However, for n=4, it is observed that the isotropy group of d need not be finite. Indeed, for Ci=-1, we observed an infinite collection of automorphisms in the isotropy group of d. Moreover, for n ≥ 3, ~~and~~Ci=1, we have shown that the isotropy group of d is isomorphic to the dihedral group of order 2n.
