On the rigidity of small domains
arXiv:math/0406412
Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let be an affine domain over with transcendence degree 1 which is not isomorphic to , and let be a domain over . We show that the AK invariant distributes over the tensor product of by . As a consequence, we obtain a generalization of the cancellation theorem of S. Abhyankar, P. Eakin, and W. Heinzer.
