Homogeneous algebraic varieties and transitivity degree

Algebraic Geometry 2022-11-08 v1

Abstract

Let XX be an algebraic variety such that the group Aut(X)\text{Aut}(X) acts on XX transitively. We define the transitivity degree of XX as a maximal number mm such that the action of Aut(X)\text{Aut}(X) on XX is mm-transitive. If the action of Aut(X)\text{Aut}(X) is mm-transitive for all mm, the transitivity degree is infinite. We compute the transitivity degree for all quasi-affine toric varieties and for many homogeneous spaces of algebraic groups. Also we discuss a conjecture and open questions related to this invariant.
