Autour d'une surface rationnelle dans $\mathbb{C}^3$

Abstract

Affine surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ defined by an equation of the form $x^{n}z-Q(x,y)=0$ have been increasingly studied during the past 15 years. Of particular interest is the fact that they come equipped with an action of the additive group $\mathbb{C}_{+}$ induced by such an action on the ambient space. The litterature of the last decade may lead one to believe that there are essentially no other of rational surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ with this property. In this note, we construct an explicit example of a surface nonisomorphic to a one of the above type but equipped with a free $\mathbb{C}_{+}$-action induced by an action on $\mathbb{C}^{3}$. We give an elementary and self-contained proof of this fact. As an application, we construct a wild but stably-tame automorphisme of $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ which seems to be new.
