Local and 2-local automorphisms of finite-dimensional nilpotent associative algebras

Abstract: In the present paper automorphisms, local and 2-local automorphisms of $n$-dimensional null-filiform and filiform associative algebras are studied. Namely, a common form of the matrix of automorphisms and local automorphisms of these algebras is clarified. It turns out that the common form of the matrix of an automorphism on these algebras does not coincide with the local automorphism's matrices common form on these algebras. Therefore, these associative algebras have local automorphisms that are not automorphisms. Also, that each 2-local automorphism of these algebras is an automorphism is proved.
