Hassett-Tschinkel correspondence: Modality and projective hypersurfaces
B. Hassett and Yu. Tschinkel (1999) introduced a remarkable correspondence between generically transitive actions of a commutative unipotent algebraic group G and finite-dimensional local algebras. In this paper we develop Hassett-Tschinkel correspondence and calculate modality of generically transitive G-actions on projective spaces, classify actions of modality one, and characterize generically transitive G-actions on projective hypersurfaces of given degree. In particular, actions on degenerate projective quadrics are studied.
