Affine threefolds admitting $G_a$-actions

Algebraic Geometry 2015-02-12 v2

Abstract

Affine varieties of dimension greater than two can be explored their structures with the help of fibrations by the affine line or plane and quotient morphisms by Ga\mathbb{G}_a-actions. We consider Ga\mathbb{G}_a-actions on affine threefolds and discuss the structure and the singularities of the quotient surface as well as the singular fibers of the quotient morphism. Relative Ga\mathbb{G}_a and Gm\mathbb{G}_m-actions on A4\mathbb{A}^4 or on an affine 4-fold having A3\mathbb{A}^3-fibrations over A1\mathbb{A}^1 are discussed when the actions leave one variable invariant or the fibration invariant.
