We classify Ga-actions on X arising from homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of fiber type. We deduce that any variety with trivial Makar-Limanov (ML) invariant is birationally decomposable as Y\\times P^2, for some Y. Conversely, given a variety Y, there exists an affine variety X with trivial ML invariant birational to Y\\times P^2. Finally, we introduce a new version of the ML invariant, called the FML invariant. According to our conjecture, the triviality of the FML invariant implies rationality. This conjecture holds in dimension at most 3.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-05T19:24:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14R05", "14R20", "14J50" ], "keywords": [ "fiber type", "ga-actions", "trivial ml invariant birational", "fml invariant implies rationality", "normal affine t-variety" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.1110L" } } }
