Additive vector fields, algebraicity and rationality (Q1914727)

We introduce a blow-up procedure for a partial resolution of the singularity of an additive vector field. This shows that a compact Kähler manifold which admits a holomorphic vector field whose zero set is projective algebraic, must be projective algebraic. By examining the blow-up centers, we prove that a projective \(n\)-dimensional manifold admitting a holomorphic vector field with nonempty isolated zeroes is rational for dimension \(n \leq 5\).
