Let $Z$ be an affine algebraic variety and $X$ be a smooth flexible variety. We develop some criteria under which $Z$ admits a closed embedding into $X$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is isomorphic (as an algebraic variety) to a…

We prove that every smooth affine variety of dimension $d$ embeds into every simple algebraic group of dimension at least $2d+2$. We do this by establishing the existence of embeddings of smooth affine varieties into the total space of…

We classify affine varieties with an action of a connected, reductive algebraic group such that the group is isomorphic to an open orbit in the variety. This is accomplished by associating a set of one-parameter subgroups of the group to…

We reprove the results of Jordan [18] and Siebert [31] and show that the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on an irreducible affine variety X is simple if and only if X is a smooth variety. Given proof is self-contained and does not…

If A is a graded connected algebra then we define a new invariant, polydepth A, which is finite if $Ext_A^*(M,A) \neq 0$ for some A-module M of at most polynomial growth. Theorem 1: If f : X \to Y is a continuous map of finite category, and…

The paper concerns the affine varieties that are homogeneous with respect to a (non-standard) graduation over the group Z^m. Among the other properties it is shown that every such a variety can be embedded in its Zariski tangent space at…

Linear hypersurfaces over a field $k$ have been playing a central role in the study of some of the challenging problems on affine spaces. Breakthroughs on such problems have occurred by examining two difficult questions on linear…
