$\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on log smooth varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2017-02-21 v4

Abstract

In this paper, we study A1\mathbb{A}^1-connected varieties from log geometry point of view, and prove a criterion for A1\mathbb{A}^1-connectedness. As applications, we provide many interesting examples of A1\mathbb{A}^1-connected varieties in the case of complements of ample divisors, and the case of homogeneous spaces. We also obtain a logarithmic version of Hartshorne's conjecture characterizing projective spaces and affine spaces.
