Abstract

Let KK be an algebraically closed field. Let GG be a non-trivial connected unipotent group, which acts effectively on an affine variety X.X. Then every non-empty component RR of the set of fixed points of GG is a KK-uniruled variety, i.e, there exists an affine cylinder W×KW\times K and a dominant, generically-finite polynomial mapping ϕ:W×KR.\phi:W\times K\rightarrow R. We show also that if an arbitrary infinite algebraic group GG acts effectively on KnK^n and the set of fixed points contains a hypersurface HH, then this hypersurface is KK-uniruled.
