We show that an effective action of the one-dimensional torus $\mathbb{G}_m$ on a normal affine algebraic variety $X$ can be extended to an effective action of a semi-direct product $\mathbb{G}_m\rightthreetimes\mathbb{G}_a$ with the same…

By an additive action on an algebraic variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we mean an action of the group $\mathbb{G}_a^n = \mathbb{C}^n $ on $X$ with an open orbit. We study limit points of one-dimensional subgroups of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ for…

Let $G$ be a finite group. To every smooth $G$-action on a compact, connected and oriented Riemann surface we can associate its data of singular orbits. The set of such data becomes an Abelian group $B_G$ under the $G$-equivariant connected…
