Limit points and additive group actions

Abstract: We show that an effective action of the one-dimensional torus

m a t h b b G_{m}

on a normal affine algebraic variety

X

can be extended to an effective action of a semi-direct product

m a t h b b G_{m} i g h t t h r e e t i m e s m a t h b b G_{a}

with the same general orbit closures if and only if there is a divisor

D

on

X

that consists of

m a t h b b G_{m}

-fixed points. This result is applied to the study of orbits of the automorphism group

e x t A u t (X)

on

X

.
