On embeddings of homogeneous spaces with small boundary

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study equivariant embeddings with small boundary of a given homogeneous space G/HG/H, where GG is a connected, linear algebraic group with trivial Picard group and only trivial characters, and HGH \subset G is an extension of a connected Grosshans subgroup by a torus. Under certain maximality conditions, like completeness, we obtain finiteness of the number of isomorphism classes of such embeddings, and we provide a combinatorial description the embbeddings and their morphisms. The latter allows a systematic treatment of examples and basic statements on the geometry of the equivariant embeddings of a given homogeneous space G/HG/H.
