Abstract

Let X be a smooth contractible three-dimensional affine algebraic variety with a free algebraic C₊-action on it such that S = X//C₊ is smooth. We prove that X is isomorphic to S × C and the action is induced by a translation on the second factor. As a consequence we show that any free algebraic C₊-action on C³ is a translation in a suitable coordinate system.
