Noncancellation for contractible affine threefolds
2011
We construct two nonisomorphic contractible affine threefolds X X and Y Y with the property that their cylinders X × A 1 X\times \mathbb {A}^{1} and Y × A 1 Y\times \mathbb {A}^{1} are isomorphic, showing that the generalized Cancellation Problem has a negative answer in general for contractible affine threefolds. We also establish that X X and Y Y are actually biholomorphic as complex analytic varieties, providing the first example of a pair of biholomorphic but not isomorphic exotic A 3 \mathbb {A}^{3} ’s.
Automorphism Groups of Certain Rational Hypersurfaces in Complex Four-Space
2014
The Russell cubic is a smooth contractible affine complex threefold which is not isomorphic to affine three-space. In previous articles, we discussed the structure of the automorphism group of this variety. Here we review some consequences of this structure and generalize some results to other hypersurfaces which arise as deformations of Koras–Russell threefolds.
Embeddings of a family of Danielewski hypersurfaces and certain \C^+-actions on \C^3
2006
International audience; We consider the family of complex polynomials in \C[x,y,z] of the form x^2y-z^2-xq(x,z). Two such polynomials P_1 and P_2 are equivalent if there is an automorphism \varphi of \C[x,y,z] such that \varphi(P_1)=P_2. We give a complete classification of the equivalence classes of these polynomials in the algebraic and analytic category.
Embeddings of Danielewski hypersurfaces
2008
In this thesis, we study a class of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^3$, called \emph{Danielewski hypersurfaces}. This means hypersurfaces $X_{Q,n}$ defined by an equation of the form $x^ny=Q(x,z)$ with $n\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq1}$ and $\deg_z(Q(x,z))\geq2$. We give their complete classification, up to isomorphism, and up to equivalence via an automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^3$. In order to do that, we introduce the notion of standard form and show that every Danielewski hypersurface is isomorphic (by an algorithmic procedure) to a Danielewski hypersurface in standard form. This terminology is relevant since every isomorphism between two standard forms can be extended to an automorphism of the ambiant …
