Our main result immediately yields a family of higher-dimensional linear hyperplanes for which the Abhyankar-Sathaye Conjecture holds. We also describe the isomorphism classes and automorphisms of integral domains of type A under certain conditions. These results show that for each integer d ⩾ 3, there is a family of infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic rings which are counterexamples to the Zariski Cancellation Problem for dimension d in positive characteristic. This is joint work with Neena Gupta.
