Acyclic curves and group actions on affine toric surfaces (Q2850552)

Let \(X\) be a complex toric affine algebraic surface, and let \(Z\) be a closed irreducible simply connected algebraic curve on \(X\). The authors prove that \(Z\) is the closure of an orbit of an algebraic action of \({\mathbb G}_m\) on \(X\). This implies that up to the action of \(\Aut(X)\) there are only finitely many nonequivalent embeddings of \({\mathbb A}^1\) in \(X\). A similar result is obtained for \(X\) replaced by \({\mathbb A}^2/F\), where \(F\) is a finite subgroup of \(\mathrm{GL}_2\) containing no pseudoreflections. An analog of the Jung--van der Kulk theorem for affine toric surface is proved.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1266.14004].
