Given a toric affine algebraic variety $X$ and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups $U_1,\ldots,U_s$ of ${\rm Aut}(X)$ which are normalized by the torus acting on $X$, we show that the group $G$ generated by $U_1,\ldots,U_s$ verifies the Tits alternative, and, moreover, either is a unipotent algebraic group, or contains a nonabelian free subgroup. We deduce that if $G$ is $m$-transitive for any positive integer $m$, then $G$ contains a nonabelian free subgroup, and so, is of…

An affine algebraic variety X of dimension ≥ 2 is called flexible if the subgroup SAut(X) ⊂ Aut(X) generated by the one-parameter unipotent subgroups acts m-transitively on reg (X) for any m ≥ 1. In
Ga-actions of fiber type on affine T-varieties
Let X be a normal affine T-variety, where T stands for the algebraic torus. We classify Ga-actions on X arising from homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of fiber type. We deduce that any

We say that a group G acts infinitely transitively on a set X if for every integer m the induced diagonal action of G is transitive on the cartesian mth power of X with the diagonals removed. We

Given an irreducible affine algebraic variety X of dimension n≥2 , we let SAut(X) denote the special automorphism group of X , that is, the subgroup of the full automorphism group Aut(X) generated by

TORIC VARIETIES
We study toric varieties over a field k that split in a Galois extension K/k using Galois cohomology with coefficients in the toric automorphism group. This Galois cohomology fits into an exact
