Abstract

We give a full description of the Lie algebra generated by locally nilpotent derivations (short LNDs) on smooth Danielewski surfaces DpD_p given by xy=p(z)xy=p(z). In case deg(p)3\mathrm{deg}(p)\geq 3 it turns out to be not the whole Lie algebra VFalgω(Dp)\mathrm{VF}_{alg}^\omega(D_p) of volume preserving algebraic vector fields, thus answering a question posed by Lind and the first author. Also we show algebraic volume density property (short AVDP) for a certain homology plane, a homogeneous space of the form SL2(C)/NSL_2 (\mathbb{C}) /N, where NN is the normalizer of the maximal torus and another related example. At the end of the paper we show by example that for the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a Stein manifold (endowed with c.-o. topology) the connected component and the path-connected component of the identity may not coincide.
