Automorphism groups of affine varieties and a characterization of affine 𝑛-space

H Kraft - Transactions of the Moscow Mathematical Society, 2017 - ams.org
We show that the automorphism group of affine $ n $-space ${\mathbb {A}^ n} $ determines
${\mathbb {A}^ n} $ up to isomorphism: If $ X $ is a connected affine variety such that …

Affine space fibrations

RV Gurjar, K Masuda, M Miyanishi - International Conference on …, 2018 - Springer
We discuss various aspects of affine space fibrations f: X → Y f: X→ Y including the generic
fiber, singular fibers and the case with a unipotent group action on X. The generic fiber X_ η …

The finite generation ideal for Daigle and Freudenburg's counterexample to Hilbert's fourteenth problem

S Hart - Communications in Algebra, 2024 - Taylor & Francis

Mapping toric varieties into low dimensional spaces

E Dufresne, J Jeffries - arXiv preprint arXiv:1602.07585, 2016 - arxiv.org
A smooth $ d $-dimensional projective variety $ X $ can always be embedded into $2 d+ 1$-
