Classification(s) of Danielewski hypersurfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2009-12-17 v1

Abstract

The Danielewski hypersurfaces are the hypersurfaces XQ,nX_{Q,n} in C3\mathbb{C}^3 defined by an equation of the form xny=Q(x,z)x^ny=Q(x,z) where n1n\geq1 and Q(x,z)Q(x,z) is a polynomial such that Q(0,z)Q(0,z) is of degree at least two. They were studied by many authors during the last twenty years. In the present article, we give their classification as algebraic varieties. We also give their classification up to automorphism of the ambient space. As a corollary, we obtain that every Danielewski hypersurface XQ,nX_{Q,n} with n2n\geq2 admits at least two non-equivalent embeddings into C3\mathbb{C}^3.
