Uniqueness of Embeddings of the Affine Line into Algebraic Groups

Algebraic Geometry 2020-06-25 v1

Abstract

Let YY be the underlying variety of a connected affine algebraic group. We prove that two embeddings of the affine line C\mathbb{C} into YY are the same up to an automorphism of YY provided that YY is not isomorphic to a product of a torus (C)k(\mathbb{C}^\ast)^k and one of the three varieties C3\mathbb{C}^3, SL2\operatorname{SL}_2, and PSL2\operatorname{PSL}_2.
