Akhiezer, D. N. On homogeneity of two-orbit varieties with respect to the full group of automorphisms. (Russian) Zbl 0698.14054 Vopr. Teor. Grupp Gomologicheskoj Algebry 8, 141-154 (1988). Theorem: Let X be a complete non-singular complex algebraic variety, and let G be a connected linear algebraic group which acts regularly on X. Let X be the union of two orbits of group G and let the closed orbit A have codimension 1. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (a) \(H^ 0(A,{\mathbb{N}}_{X| A})\neq 0\), where \({\mathbb{N}}_{X| A}\) is the normal bundle to A in X; (b) X is homogeneous under Aut(X); (c) \(X=X_ 1\times X_ 2\) and the image of G in Aut(X) is a direct product \(G_ 1\times G_ 2\), where \(G_ 1\) acts transitively on \(X_ 1\), \(G_ 2\) acts transitively on \(X_ 2\) and some alternative formulated in the paper takes place.
