Abstract

Let XX be an affine algebraic variety endowed with an action of complexity one of an algebraic torus T\mathbb{T}. It is well known that homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations on the algebra of regular functions K[X]\mathbb{K}[X] can be described in terms of proper polyhedral divisors corresponding to T\mathbb{T}-variety XX. We prove that homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations commute if an only if some combinatorial criterion holds. These results are used to describe actions of unipotent groups of dimension two on affine T\mathbb{T}-varieties.
