Nonlinearizable embeddings of elliptic curves in rational surfaces
Abstract
We show that for any smooth cubic in $\mathbb{P}^2$, there exists a dense $G_\delta$ set of configurations of 9 distinct points such that blowing up $\mathbb{P}^2$ at these 9 points, the strict transform of the cubic is not linearizable and has nontorsion normal bundle. This answers a problem raised by Ogus in 1975.
