Locally Nilpotent Derivations and the Cancellation Problem in Affine Algebraic Geometry

Let K be a field of characteristic zero and let R [n] denote the polynomial ring in n variables over a ring R for any n ∈ N , n > 0. We present some basic theory for the study of locally nilpotent derivations as an effective tool in algebraic geometry. Using this tool, we examine t...
