Infinite transitivity and special automorphisms

Abstract

It is known that if the special automorphism group SAut(X)\text{SAut}(X) of a quasiaffine variety XX of dimension at least 22 acts transitively on XX, then this action is infinitely transitive. In this paper we address the question whether this is the only possibility for the automorphism group Aut(X)\text{Aut}(X) to act infinitely transitively on XX. We show that this is the case provided XX admits a nontrivial Ga\mathbb{G}_a- or Gm\mathbb{G}_m-action. Moreover, 2-transitivity of the automorphism group implies infinite transitivity.
