An irreducible algebraic variety $X$ is rigid if it admits no nontrivial action of the additive group of the ground field. We prove that the automorphism group $\text{Aut}(X)$ of a rigid affine variety contains a unique maximal torus…

Let $X$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{4}$ of degree $d$ that has at most isolated ordinary double points. We prove that $X$ is factorial in the case when $X$ has at most $(d-1)^{2}-1$ singular points.

We describe homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of the algebra of regular functions for a class of affine trinomial hypersurfaces. This class comprises all non-factorial trinomial hypersurfaces.

Let X be a complete intersection of two hypersurfaces F_n and F_k in the projective space P^5 of degree n and k respectively with n >= k, such that the singularities of X are nodal and F_k is smooth. We prove that if the threefold X has at…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^4$ be a terminal factorial quartic $3$-fold. If $X$ is non-singular, $X$ is \emph{birationally rigid}, i.e. the classical MMP on any terminal $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial projective variety $Z$ birational to $X$ always…

We prove birational superrigidity of Fano double hypersurfaces of index one with quadratic and multi-quadratic singularities, satisfying certain regularity conditions, and give an effective explicit lower bound for the codimension of the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $G$ be a non-trivial connected unipotent group, which acts effectively on an affine variety $X.$ Then every non-empty component $R$ of the set of fixed points of $G$ is a $K$-uniruled variety,…

We establish birational superrigidity for a large class of singular projective Fano hypersurfaces of index one. In the special case of isolated singularities, our result applies for instance to: (1) hypersurfaces with semi-homogeneous…

We prove that a quasi-smooth Fano threefold hypersurface is birationally rigid if and only if it has Fano index one.

Let $Y$ be an algebraic manifold of dimension 3 with $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $h^0(Y, {\mathcal{O}}_Y) > 1$. Let $X$ be a smooth completion of $Y$ such that the boundary $X-Y$ is the support of an effective…

Extending previous results, we prove that for $n \ge 5$ all hypersurfaces of degree $n+1$ in ${\mathbb P}^{n+1}$ with isolated ordinary double points are birational superrigid and K-stable, hence admit a weak K\"ahler--Einstein metric.

Let A be a $\mathfrak Q$-domain, K=frac(A), B=A^{[n]} and D\in \lnd_A(B). Assume rank D= rank D_K=r, where D_K is the extension of D to K^{[n]}. Then we show that (i) If D_K is rigid, then D is rigid. (ii) Assume n=3, r=2 and B=A[X,Y,Z]…

A ring is rigid if there is no nonzero locally nilpotent derivation on it. In terms of algebraic geometry, a rigid coordinate ring corresponds to an algebraic affine variety which does not allow any nontrivial algebraic additive group…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An element F from k(x_1,...,x_n) is called a closed rational function if the subfield k(F) is algebraically closed in the field k(x_1,...,x_n). We prove that a rational function…

We provide an explicit description of homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of the algebra of regular functions on affine trinomial hypersurfaces. As an application, we describe the set of roots of trinomial algebras.

Consider a polynomial F such that each variable appears in exactly one monomial. The hypersurface defined by the polynomial F is called a hypersurface with separable variables. A variety is called rigid if there are no nontrivial actions of…

Over a field $k$, we study rational UFDs of finite transcendence degree $n$ over $k$. We classify such UFDs $B$ when $n=2$, $k$ is algebraically closed, and $B$ admits a positive $\mathbb{Z}$-grading, showing in particular that $B$ is…
