Abstract: We introduce equivariant versions of uniform rationality: given an algebraic group G, a G-variety is called G-uniformly rational (resp. G-linearly uniformly rational) if every point has a G-invariant open neighborhood equivariantly isomorphic to a G-invariant open subset of the affine space endowed with a G-action (resp. linear G-action). We establish a criterion for Gm-uniform rationality of affine variety equipped with hyperbolic Gm-action with a unique fixed point, formulated in term of their Altmann-Hausen presentation. We prove the Gm-uniform rationality of Koras-Russel threefolds of the first kind and we also give example of non Gm-uniformly rational but smooth rational Gm-threefold associated to pairs of plane rational curves birationally non equivalent to a union of lines.

Review text

A rational variety is \textit{uniformly rational} if every point has a neighborhood isomorphic to an open set in affine space. In particular, these are smooth and whether the converse holds for any smooth rational variety is still open and a question due to \textit{M. Gromov} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 2, No. 4, 851--897 (1989; Zbl 0686.32012)]. This article introduces a related notion for rational varieties with a group action. The extra restriction is that the open sets should be stable under the group action. The author studies this notion mainly for \(\mathbb{G}_m\) action and proves certain criteria for such uniform behavior.
