Solvable Automorphism Groups of Varieties
Serge Cantat, Hanspeter Kraft, Andriy Regeta +1
Let be a variety of dimension , and let be its automorphism group. When is quasi-affine, we prove that a solvable subgroup of that is…
On Ramanujam's Theorem About Finite Dimensional Groups of Automorphisms
Serge Cantat, Hanspeter Kraft, Andriy Regeta +1
Ramanujam's theorem states that any connected finite-dimensional subgroup of the automorphism group of an irreducible variety is an algebraic group, in a natu…
Symmetric subrank and its border analogue
Benjamin Biaggi, Jan Draisma, Koen de Nooij +1
The symmetric subrank of homogeneous polynomial is the largest number of terms in a diagonal form to which it can be specialized by a (typically non-invertible) linear variable sub…
Characterizing Varieties Using Birational Transformations
Nathan Chen, Louis Esser, Andriy Regeta +2
Suppose is an irreducible complex variety. We show that when is ruled, the group of birational transformations , as a group, determines up to birational transfo…
Does the Grothendieck ring of varieties contain nilpotent elements?
Anna Bot, Alessio Cangini, Immanuel van Santen
We show that a ring closely related to the Grothendieck ring of varieties has nilpotent elements, provided that the characteristic of the ground field is equal to or at least…
