Has anyone researched additive analogues of toric geometry in characteristic zero?
One definition of an $ n $-dimensional toric variety is that it is a variety $ Z $ for which there exists an equivariant embedding of
$ \mathbb{G}_{m}^{n} $ as a Zariski dense, open sub-variety of $ Z ...

Is $\langle\chi,\lambda\rangle=0$, whenever the limit exists? Where is the mistake?
Suppose $G$ is a linearly reductive algebraic group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\mathbb{C}$. This induces an action on the coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[V]$ (see here)....

What goes wrong with this alternate proof of Dirichlet's Theorem?
I had an idea for an alternate proof of Dirichlet's theorem, but something goes wrong. Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression says that for $ m,a \in \mathbb{N} $ which are ...
