Exploring Bass' Triangulability Problem on unipotent algebraic subgroups of the affine Cremona groups, we prove a triangulability criterion, the existence of nontriangulable connected solvable affine algebraic subgroups of the Cremona groups, and stable triangulability of such subgroups; in particular, in the stable range we answer Bass' Triangulability Problem is the affirmative. To this end we prove a theorem on invariant subfields of $1$-extensions. We also obtain a general construction of all rationally triangulable subgroups of the Cremona groups and, as an application, classify rationally triangulable connected one-dimensional unipotent affine algebraic subgroups of the Cremona groups up to conjugacy.

A general theorem on the purity of invariant field extensions is proved. Using it, a criterion of rational triangulability of connected solvable affine algebraic subgroups of the Cremona groups is obtained. This criterion is applied for proving the existence of rationally nontriangulable subgroups of the above form and for proving their stable rational triangulability. The ...

We classify all connected affine algebraic groups G such that there are only finitely many G-orbits in every algebraic G-variety containing a dense open G-orbit. We also prove that G enjoys this property if and only if every irreducible algebraic G-variety X is modality-regular, i.e., the modality of X (in the sense of V. Arnol’d) ...

Starting with exploration of the possibility to present the underlying variety of an affine algebraic group in the form of a product of some algebraic varieties, we then explore the naturally arising problem as to what extent the group variety of an algebraic group determines its group structure. ...

A new infinite series of rational affine algebraic varieties is constructed whose automorphism group contains the auto\-morphism group Aut(F_n) of the free group F_n of rank n. The automorphism groups of such varieties are nonlinear and contain the braid group B_n on n strands for n > 2, and are nonamenable for n > 1. ...

The extended weight semigroup of a homogeneous space G/H of a connected semisimple algebraic group G characterizes the spectra of the representations of G on spaces of regular sections of homogeneous line bundles over G/H, including the space of regular functions on G/H. We compute the extended weight semigroups for all strictly irreducible affine spherical ...

Given an action of an affine algebraic group with only trivial characters on a factorial variety, we ask for categorical quotients. We characterize existence in the category of algebraic varieties. Moreover, allowing constructible sets as quotients, we obtain a more general existence result, which, for example, settles the case of afinitely generated algebra of invariants. ...

Let G be a symplectic or special orthogonal group, let H be a connected reductive subgroup of G, and let X be a flag variety of G. We classify all triples (G, H, X) such that the natural action of H on X is spherical. For each of these triples, we determine the restrictions to ...

Let X be an affine toric variety. The total coordinates on X provide a canonical presentation !X -> X of X as a quotient of a vector space !X by a linear action of a quasitorus. We prove that the orbits of the connected component of the automorphism group Aut(X) on X coincide with the ...

We obtain several structure results for a class of spherical subgroups of connected reductive complex algebraic groups that extends the class of strongly solvable spherical subgroups. Based on these results, we construct certain one-parameter degenerations of the Lie algebras corresponding to such subgroups. As an application, we exhibit an explicit algorithm for computing the set ...

Given a connected reductive algebraic group G and a finitely generated monoid Γ of dominant weights of G, in 2005 Alexeev and Brion constructed a moduli scheme M_Γ for multiplicity-free affine G-varieties with weight monoid Γ. This scheme is equipped with an action of an `adjoint torus' T_ad and has a distinguished T_ad-fixed point X_0. ...
