For any given Salem number, we construct an automorphism on a simple abelian variety whose first dynamical degree is the square of the Salem number. Our construction works for both simple abelian varieties with totally indefinite quaternion multiplication and for simple abelian varieties of the second kind. We then give a complete classification of the dynamical degree sequences for abelian varieties of dimension at most four and obtain an ergodic result for sequences of pullbacks of forms.
Let $A$ be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field. We show that $A$ is the automorphism group scheme of some smooth projective variety if and only if $A$ has only finitely many automorphisms as an algebraic group. This generalizes a result of Lombardo and Maffei for complex abelian varieties.
In this paper we prove criteria for a nonnormal toric variety to be flexible, to be rigid and to be almost rigid. For rigid and almost rigid toric varieties we describe the automorphism group explicitly.
In this paper we describe orbits of automorphism group on a horospherical variety in terms of degrees of homogeneous with respect to natural grading locally nilpotent derivations. In case of (may be non-normal) toric varieties a description of orbits of automorphism group in terms of corresponding weight monoid is obtained.
Let X be a flexible variety of F be an isomorphism of closed one-dimensional subschemes of $X$. We develop criteria which guarantee that F extends to au automorphism of X.
Mukai varieties are Fano varieties of Picard number one and coindex three. In genus seven to ten they are linear sections of some special homogeneous varieties. We describe the generic automorphism groups of these varieties. When they are expected to be trivial for dimensional reasons, we show they are indeed trivial, up to three interesting and unexpected exceptions in genera 7, 8, 9, and codimension 4, 3, 2 respectively. We conclude in particular that a generic prime Fano threefold of genus g has no automorphisms for 7 $\le$ g $\le$ 10. In the Appendix by Y. Prokhorov, the latter statement i…
In 2013 Bazhov proved a criterium for two points on a complete toric variety to lie in the same orbit of the neutral component of automorphism group. This criterium is in terms of divisor class group. Arzhantsev-Bazhov (2013) obtained a similar criterium for affine toric varieties. We prove a necessary condition similar this criteria to the cases of affine and projective horospherical varieties.
We give an explicit description of the automorphism group of a product of complete toric varieties over an arbitrary field in terms of the respective automorphism groups of its components. More precisely, we prove that, up to permutation of isomorphic components, an automorphism of a product corresponds to a product of automorphisms of its components. We also reprove, in modern language, the classic result by Demazure describing the group-scheme of automorphisms of a complete toric variety over an arbitrary field.
Determining when the birational automorphism group of a Fano variety is finite is an interesting and difficult problem. The main technique for studying this problem is by the Noether-Fano method. This method has been effective in studying this problem for Fano varieties of index one and two. The purpose of this paper is to give a new approach to this problem, and to show that in every positive characteristic there are Fano varieties of arbitrarily large index with finite (or even trivial) birational automorphisms. To do this we prove that these varieties admit ample and birationally equivarian…

Let $A/F$ be an abelian variety over a field. Does there exist a smooth projective $F$-variety $X$, such that $A$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group scheme of $X/F$? We show that the answer is positive, if and only if $A$ has only finitely many automorphisms, over an algebraic closure of $F$. When $F=\mathbb C$, this result is due to Lombardo and Maffei. When $F$ is algebraically closed, it was obtained independently by Blanc and Brion.
We show, among other things, that for each integer $n \ge 3$, there is a smooth complex projective rational variety of dimension $n$, with discrete non-finitely generated automorphism group and with infinitely many mutually non-isomorphic real forms. Our result is inspired by the work of Lesieutre and the work of Dinh and Oguiso.

设$J$是允许非平凡自同构的光滑射影复曲线$C$的雅可比矩阵，$A(J)$是$J$上有理系数模代数等价的代数圈环.我们在$A(J)$中提出了新的重言式环，它以自然的方式扩展了Beauville（Compos Math 140（3）：683-688，2004）研究的重言式环。证明了在$J$的特殊互补交换子簇上存在重言式环.
We compute the group of automorphisms of an arbitrary ind-variety of (possibly isotropic) generalized flags. Such an ind-variety is a homogeneous ind-space for one of the ind-groups $SL(\infty)$, $O(\infty)$ or $Sp(\infty)$. We show that the respective automorphism groups are much larger than $SL(\infty)$, $O(\infty)$ or $Sp(\infty)$, and present the answer in terms of Mackey groups. The latter are groups of automorphisms of nondegenerate pairings of (in general infinite-dimensional) vector spaces. An explicit matrix form of the automorphism group of an arbitrary ind-variety of generalized fla…
For a variety $X$, a big $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $L$ and a closed connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{Aut}(X, L)$ we define a $G$-invariant version of the $δ$-threshold. We prove that for a Fano variety $(X, -K_X)$ and a connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{Aut}(X)$ this invariant characterizes $G$-equivariant uniform $K$-stability. We also use this invariant to investigate $G$-equivariant $K$-stability of some Fano varieties with large groups of symmetries, including spherical Fano varieties. We also consider the case of $G$ being a finite group.
