Algebraic magnetism invariants of a double scalar action on the projective plane
Abstract
This document is an expanded version of the notes from a talk at the Arithmetic and Algebraic Geometry Week conference, which took place in Iasi in September 2025. In this note, we compute the pure magnets (certain semigroups) and the associated attractors for a double scalar action of Gm2 on P2. This is mostly expository and provides a non-affine example illustrating the invariants of Algebraic Magnetism in a simple and visual case. Nevertheless, we introduce the notion of lambdafiable magnets, in the general setting, to relate certain magnets to cocharacters. Finally we announce recent advanced results on Algebraic Magnetism obtained in BM and solving positively some conjectures stated in Ma.
