The algebraic density property for affine toric varieties

In this paper we generalize the algebraic density property to not necessarily smooth affine varieties relative to some closed subvariety containing the singular locus. This property implies the remarkable approximation results for holomorphic automorphisms of the Andersén–Lempert theory. We show that an affine toric variety X satisfies this algebraic density property relative to a closed T-invariant subvariety Y if and only if X∖Y≠TX∖Y≠T. For toric surfaces we are able to classify those which possess a strong version of the algebraic density property (relative to the singular locus). The main ingredient in this classification is our proof of an equivariant version of Brunella's famous classification of complete algebraic vector fields in the affine plane.

Holomorphic Automorphisms of Danielewski Surfaces II: Structure of the Overshear Group

We apply Nevanlinna theory for algebraic varieties to Danielewski surfaces and investigate their group of holomorphic automorphisms. Our main result states that the overshear group, which is known to be dense in the identity component of the holomorphic automorphism group, is a free product.
