We study a two-dimensional family of affine surfaces which are counter-examples to the Cancellation Problem. We describe the Makar-Limanov invariant of these surfaces, determine their isomorphism classes and characterize the automorphisms…
We study a class of normal affine surfaces with additive group actions which contains in particular the Danielewski surfaces in $\ba^{3}$ given by the equations $x^{n}z=P(y)$, where $P$ is a nonconstant polynomial with simple roots. We call…
We construct explicit embeddings of generalized Danielewski surfaves in affine spaces. The equations defining these embeddings are obtained from the 2x2 minors of a matrix attached to a labelled rooted tree. Then we describe more precisely…
In 2007, Dubouloz introduced Danielewski varieties. Such varieties generalize Danielewski surfaces and provide counterexamples to generalized Zariski cancellation problem in arbitrary dimension. In the present work we describe the…
A special Danielewski surface is an affine surface which is the total space of a principal $(\mathbb{C},+)$-bundle over an affine line with a multiple origin. Using a fiber product trick introduced by Danielewski, it is known that cylinders…
We study the class of 2-dimensional affine k-domains R satisfying ML(R) = k, where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In particular, we obtain the following result: Let R be a localization of a polynomial ring in finitely many…
L. Makar-Limanov computed the automorphisms groups of surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ defined by the equations $x^{n}z-P(y)=0$, where $n\geq1$ and $P(y)$ is a nonzero polynomial. Similar results have been obtained by A. Crachiola for surfaces…
Two families of general affine surface areas are introduced. Basic properties and affine isoperimetric inequalities for these new affine surface areas as well as for $L_{\phi}$ affine surface areas are established.
The cancellation problem asks if two complex algebraic varieties X and Y of the same dimension such that X\times\mathbb{C} and Y\times\mathbb{C} are isomorphic are isomorphic. Iitaka and Fujita established that the answer is positive for a…
We describe the set of all locally nilpotent derivations of the quotient ring $\mathbb{K}[X,Y,Z]/(f(X)Y - \varphi(X,Z))$ constructed from the defining equation $f(X)Y = \varphi(X,Z)$ of a generalized Danielewski surface in $\mathbb K^3$ for…
We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of a domain with arbitrary characteristic. We use these techniques to describe for any field $K$ the automorphism group of $K[X,Y,Z]/(X^n Y - Z^2 - h(X)Z)$, where $h(0) \ne 0$ and $n \geq…
In this note we prove that if $S$ is an affine non-toric $\mathbb{G}_m$-surface of hyperbolic type that admits a $\mathbb{G}_a$-action and $X$ is an affine irreducible variety such that $Aut(X)$ is isomorphic to $Aut(S)$ as an abstract…
In this note we show that if the automorphism group of a normal affine surface $S$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a Danielewski surface, then $S$ is isomorphic to a Danielewski surface.
Affine varieties of dimension greater than two can be explored their structures with the help of fibrations by the affine line or plane and quotient morphisms by $\mathbb{G}_a$-actions. We consider $\mathbb{G}_a$-actions on affine…
In this paper we extend a result of Dubouloz on the Cancellation Problem in higher dimensions ($\geqslant 2$) over the field of complex numbers to fields of arbitrary characteristic. We then apply the generalised result to describe the…
If $X$ is a rational surface without nonzero holomorphic vector field and $f$ is an automorphism of $X$, we study in several examples the Zariski tangent space of the local deformation space of the pair $(X, f)$.
Let $X$ and $X'$ be affine algebraic varieties over a field $\mathbb{k}$. The celebrated Zariski Cancellation Problem asks as to when the existence of an isomorphism $X\times\mathbb{A}^n\cong X'\times\mathbb{A}^n$ implies $X\cong X'$. In…
