Density property for hypersurfaces \(UV = p({\overline X})\) (Q2463379)

The authors consider two properties, which they call ``density'' or ``algebraic density'' for complex and affine manifolds, respectively. A complex (affine) manifold has the density (resp., algebraic density) property if the Lie algebra generated by completely integrable holomorphic (resp., algebraic) vector fields is dense in (resp., coincides with) the Lie algebra of all holomorphic (resp., algebraic) vector fields. The main theorems of the paper assert that the hypersurface \[ X_p=\{uv=p(x_1, \dots ,x_n)\}\subset \mathbb C^2_{u,v}\times \mathbb C^n_{x_1, \dots ,x_n} \] has the algebraic density property if \(p(x_1, \dots ,x_n)\) is a polynomial and has the density property if \(p\in \mathcal O(\mathbb C^n)\) is a holomorphic function provided that a zero fiber of \(p\) is smooth and reduced. Two interesting examples \(H_1\), \(H_2\) of hypersurfaces of this type are provided in the paper and demonstrate that this is a worthy object for investigation: there are famous conjectures that could be settled if one knew whether \(H_1\), \(H_2\) are isomorphic to the Euclidean space. In the last section it is shown that having the density property implies many other interesting features (for example, a Stein manifold of such kind admits a spray).
