Elementary objects in invariant theory are orbits of reductive groups and their closures. Special examples of these are the two-orbit varieties on which a reductive group acts with two orbits. A complete characterization of such varieties is given for the case when the small orbit is of codimension two. This characterization requires methods from algebraic geometry, the study of equivariant birational maps and some results from the theory of torus embeddings.
