Unipotent Group Actions on Del Pezzo Cones

Algebraic Geometry 2013-01-03 v2

Abstract

In a previous paper we established that for any del Pezzo surface Y of degree at least 4, the affine cone X over Y embedded via a pluri-anticanonical linear system admits an effective Ga-action. In particular, the group Aut(X) is infinite dimensional. In contrast, we show in this note that for a del Pezzo surface Y of degree at most 2 the generalized cones X as above do not admit any non-trivial action of a unipotent algebraic group.
