On embeddings of homogeneous spaces with small boundary
Abstract
We study equivariant embeddings with small boundary of a given homogeneous space
G/H
, where
G
is a connected, linear algebraic group with trivial Picard group and only trivial characters, and
H⊂G
is an extension of a connected Grosshans subgroup by a torus. Under certain maximality conditions, like completeness, we obtain finiteness of the number of isomorphism classes of such embeddings, and we provide a combinatorial description the embbeddings and their morphisms. The latter allows a systematic treatment of examples and basic statements on the geometry of the equivariant embeddings of a given homogeneous space
