By an exotic algebraic structure on the affine space ${\bf C}^n$ we mean a smooth affine algebraic variety which is diffeomorphic to ${\bf R}^{2n}$ but not isomorphic to ${\bf C}^n$. This is a survey of the recent developement on the subject, which emphasizes its analytic aspects and points out some open problems.

Families of exotic affine 3-spheres
We construct algebraic families of exotic affine 3-spheres, that is, smooth affine threefolds diffeomorphic to a non-degenerate smooth complex affine quadric of dimension 3 but non-algebraically…
The Role Of Exotic Affine Spaces In the Classification Of Homogeneous Affine Varieties
Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over ℂ and let H a closed algebraic subgroup. A fundamental problem in the study of homogeneous spaces is to describe, characterize, or classify those…

$${\mathbb A}^1$$ -homotopy Theory and Contractible Varieties: A Survey
We survey some topics in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory. Our main goal is to highlight the interplay between ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory and affine algebraic geometry, focusing on the varieties…

Challenging problems on affine $n$-space
Complex affine n-space C^n, the basic object of algebraic geometry, offers a number of exciting and striking problems. The most famous one, the Jacobian Conjecture is the still unsolved. Others are…
Computations in A1-homotopy theory
We introduce Koras-Russell fiber bundles over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. After a single suspension, this exhibits an infinite family of smooth affine A1-contractible 3-folds.…

Vector bundles on contractible smooth schemes
We discuss algebraic vector bundles on smooth k-schemes X contractible from the standpoint of A^1-homotopy theory; when k = C, the smooth manifolds X(C) are contractible as topological spaces. The…
