Abstract: The cancellation problem asks if two complex algebraic varieties X and Y of the same dimension such that X imesmathbb{C} and Y imesmathbb{C} are isomorphic are isomorphic. Iitaka and Fujita established that the answer is positive for a large class of varieties of any dimension. In 1989, Danielewski constructed a famous counter-example using smooth affine surfaces with additive group actions. His construction was further generalized by Fieseler and Wilkens to describe a larger class of affine surfaces. Here we construct higher dimensional analogues of these surfaces. We study algebraic actions of the additive group mathbb{C}_{+} on certain of these varieties, and we obtain counter-examples to the cancellation problem in any dimension ngeq2 .
