Forms of almost homogeneous varieties over perfect fields

We study the k-forms of almost homogeneous varieties over perfect base fields k. First, we discuss criteria for the existence of k-forms in the homogeneous case. Then, we extend the Luna-Vust theory from algebraically closed fields to perfect fields to determine when a given k-form of the open orbit of an almost homogeneous variety extends to a k-form of the entire variety. Finally, in the last section, we apply these results to determine the real forms of complex almost homogeneous SL(2)-threefolds.

Real structures on nilpotent orbit closures

We determine the equivariant real structures on nilpotent orbits and the normalizations of their closures for the adjoint action of a complex semisimple algebraic group on its Lie algebra.

Real structures on symmetric spaces

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of equivariant real structures on complex symmetric spaces for semisimple groups and discuss how to determine the number of equivalence classes for such structures.

Real structures on horospherical varieties

We study the equivariant real structures on complex horospherical varieties, generalizing classical results known for toric varieties and flag varieties. In particular, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such real structures and determine the number of equivalence classes. We then apply our results to classify the equivariant real structures on smooth projective horospherical varieties of Picard rank 1.

Isomorphisms between cylinders over Danielewski surfaces

A special Danielewski surface is an affine surface which is the total space of a principal $(\mathbb{C},+)$-bundle over an affine line with a multiple origin. Using a fiber product trick introduced by Danielewski, it is known that cylinders over two such surfaces are always isomorphic provided that both bases have the same number of origins. The goal of this note is to give an explicit method to find isomorphisms between cylinders over special Danielewski surfaces. The method is based on the construction of appropriate locally nilpotent derivations.

Infinite families of inequivalent real circle actions on affine four-space

The main result of this article is to construct infinite families of non-equivalent equivariant real forms of linear C*-actions on affine four-space. We consider the real form of C* whose fixed point is a circle. In [F-MJ] one example of a non-linearizable circle action was constructed. Here, this result is generalized by developing a new approach which allows us to compare different real forms. The constructions of these forms are based on the structure of equivariant O2(C)-vector bundles.

Automorphism groups of certain rational hypersurfaces in complex four-space

The Russell cubic is a smooth contractible affine complex threefold which is not isomorphic to affine three-space. In previous articles, we discussed the structure of the automorphism group of this variety. Here we review some consequences of this structure and generalize some results to other hypersurfaces which arise as deformations of Koras-Russell threefolds.

Non cancellation for smooth contractible affine threefolds

We construct two non isomorphic contractible affine threefolds X and Y with isomorphic cylinders, showing that the generalized Cancellation Problem has a negative answer in general for contractible affine threefolds. We also establish that X and Y are actually biholomorphic as complex analytic varieties, providing the first example of a pair of biholomorphic but not isomorphic exotic affine 3-spaces.

Automorphism groups of Koras-Russell threefolds of the first kind

Koras-Russell threefolds are certain smooth contractible complex hypersurfaces in affine complex four-space which are not algebraically isomorphic to affine three-space. One of the important examples is the cubic Russell threefold, defined by the equation x^2y+z^2+t^3+x=0. In a previous article by A. Dubouloz, P.M. Poloni and the author, the automorphism group of the Russell cubic threefold was studied. It was shown, in particular, that all automorphisms of this hypersurface extend to automorphisms of the ambient space. This has several interesting consequences, including the fact that one can find another hypersurface which is isomorphic to the Russell cubic, but such that the two hypersurfaces are inequivalent. In the present article, we will discuss how some of these results can be generalized to the class of Koras-Russell threefolds of the first kind.

Inequivalent embeddings of the Koras-Russell cubic threefold

The Koras-Russell threefold is the hypersurface X of the complex affine four-space defined by the equation x^2y+z^2+t^3+x=0. It is well-known that X is smooth contractible and rational but that it is not algebraically isomorphic to affine three-space. The main result of this article is to show that there exists another hypersurface Y of the affine four-space, which is isomorphic to X as an abstract variety, but such that there exists no algebraic automorphism of the ambient space which restricts to an isomorphism between X and Y. In other words, the two hypersurfaces are inequivalent. The proof of this result is based on the description of the automorphism group of X. We show in particular that all algebraic automorphisms of X extend to automorphisms of the ambient space.
