Abstract: A Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface $V$ over $$, which can be completed by a zigzag; that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves. In this paper we deal with the question of uniqueness of $$-actions and $$-fibrations on such a surface $V$ up to automorphisms. The latter fibrations are in one to one correspondence with $$-actions on $V$ considered up to a "speed change". Non-Gizatullin surfaces are known to admit at most one $$-fibration $VoS$ up to an isomorphism of the base $S$. Moreover an effective $$-action on them, if it does exist, is unique up to conjugation and inversion $tmapsto{t}^{-1}$ of $$. Obviously uniqueness of $$-actions fails for affine toric surfaces; however we show in this case that there are at most two conjugacy classes of $$-fibrations. There is a further interesting family of non-toric Gizatullin surfaces, called the Danilov-Gizatullin surfaces, where there are in general several conjugacy classes of $$-actions and $$-fibrations. In the present paper we obtain a criterion as to when $$-fibrations of Gizatullin surfaces are conjugate up to an automorphism of $V$ and the base $S$. We exhibit as well a large subclasses of Gizatullin $$-surfaces for which a $$-action is essentially unique and for which there are at most two conjugacy classes of $$-fibrations over $$.

Review text

The paper is connected to a series of previous papers aiming to classify all affine surfaces admitting a \(\mathbb C^*\)- action or a \(\mathbb C^+\)-fibration. In this paper Gizatullin surfaces are considered. Let us cite the abstract. ``A Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface \(V\) over \(\mathbb C\), which can be completed by a zigzag: that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves. Any Gizatullin surface admits a \(\mathbb C^+\)-fibration over an affine line (base). On the other hand, any surface admitting a \(\mathbb C^*\)-action (\(\mathbb C^*\)-surface) has a so called \(DPD\) representation as \(\text{Spec }R,\) for a special ring \(R\), provided that this action is hyperbolic [\textit{H. Flenner, M. Zaidenberg}, Osaka J. Math. 40, No. 4, 981--1009 (2003; Zbl 1093.14084)]. There are two main theorems in the paper. The first one provides a sufficient condition for a Gizatullin surface to admit at most two \(\mathbb C^+\)- actions up to conjugation by automorphisms of the surface and the base. The condition is based on the properties of the corresponding zizag and of the singular fiber. In the second theorem the authors exhibit large subclasses of Gizatullin \(\mathbb C^*\)-surfaces for which a \(\mathbb C^*\)-action is essentially unique and for which there are at most two conjugacy classes of \(\mathbb C^+\)-fibrations over \(\mathbb C^1\). These subclasses are defined in terms of the properties of the \(DPD\) representation of a surface.
