Suppose that Z is a Zariski open subset of X which has a morphism p : Z -> U into a curve U such that all fibers of p are isomorphic to C^2. We prove that X' is isomorphic to C^3 iff none of irreducible components of X'-Z has non-isolated singularities. Furthermore, if X' is C^3 then p extends to a polynomial on C^3 which is linear in a suitable coordinate system. As a consequence we obtain the fact formulated in the title of the paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-12-07T20:02:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14E09" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial", "smooth affine algebraic variety", "zariski open subset", "suitable coordinate system", "isomorphic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999math.....12058K" } } }
