Abstract

Let Ga\mathbb{G}_a be the additive group of the field of complex numbers C\mathbb{C}. We say that an irreducible algebraic variety XX of dimension nn admits an additive action if there is a regular action of the group Gan=Ga××Ga\mathbb{G}_a^n = \mathbb{G}_a \times \ldots \times \mathbb{G}_a (nn times) on XX with an open orbit. In 2017 Baohua Fu and Jun-Muk Hwang introduced a class of Euler-symmetric varieties. They gave a classification of Euler-symmetric varieties and proved that any Euler-symmetric variety admits an additive action. In this paper we show that in the case of projective toric varieites the converse is also true. More precisely, a projective toric variety admitting an additive action is an Euler-symmetric variety with respect to any linearly normal embedding into a projective space. Also we discuss some properties of Euler-symmetric projective toric varieties.
