Divisors in projective bundles over the projective line whose complement is affine space
Abstract
Given a smooth projective variety X of dimension n and a closed subscheme Z ⊆ X, it is in general a difficult problem to determine whether X ∖ Z is isomorphic to An. In the case where X is a projective bundle over P1 and the restriction of every irreducible component of Z to every fibre is a hyperplane, we give a complete geometric characterisation in terms of the irreducible components of Z and their intersections. In the appendix, we use this to obtain a coordinate-free explanation for the recent first counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture.

AB - Given a smooth projective variety X of dimension n and a closed subscheme Z ⊆ X, it is in general a difficult problem to determine whether X ∖ Z is isomorphic to A^n. In the case where X is a projective bundle over P^1 and the restriction of every irreducible component of Z to every fibre is a hyperplane, we give a complete geometric characterisation in terms of the irreducible components of Z and their intersections. In the appendix, we use this to obtain a coordinate-free explanation for the recent first counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture.
