  We confirm a conjecture of Friedland and Milnor: if two polynomial
automorphisms f and g in Aut(C^2) with dynamical degree >1 are conjugate by
some holomorphic diffeomorphism \phi of C^2, then \phi is a polynomial
automorphism; thus, f and g are conjugate inside Aut(C^2). We also discuss a
number of variations on this result.
