), Yury Volkov (wolf86 666@list.ru).Abstract. In 1990 Kantor defined the conservative algebra W (n) of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the n-dimensional vector space. If n > 1, then the algebra W (n) does not belong to any well-known class of algebras (such as associative, Lie, Jordan, or Leibniz algebras). We describe automorphisms, one-sided ideals, and idempotents of W (2). Also similar problems are solved for the algebra W 2 of all commutative algebras on the 2-dimensional vector space and for the algebra S 2 of all commutative algebras with trace zero multiplication on the 2-dimensional vector space.
