Abstract: Let X be a normal affine T-variety of complexity at most one over a perfect field k, where T stands for the split algebraic torus. Our main result is a classification of additive group actions on X that are normalized by the T-action. This generalizes the classification given by the second author in the particular case where k is algebraically closed and of characteristic zero. With the assumption that the characteristic of k is positive, we introduce the notion of rationally homogeneous locally finite iterative higher derivations which corresponds geometrically to additive group actions on affine T-varieties normalized up to a Frobenius map. As a preliminary result, we provide a complete description of these additive group actions in the toric situation.


The authors study normal affine varieties \(X\) of complexity one over a perfect field \(k\) with an action of the split torus \(\mathbb{T}\). Complexity is just the the difference in dimension \(\dim X-\dim\mathbb{T}\), for example when \(k\) is algebraically closed. Given such a variety, the authors classify all \(\mathbb{G}_a\) actions on \(X\) which are normalized by the \(\mathbb{T}\) action. The results are a bit technical and need more terminology to describe precisely. Many of the techniques closely follow toric geometry techniques.
