Given an irreducible affine algebraic variety X of dimension n≥2 , we let SAut(X) denote the special automorphism group of X , that is, the subgroup of the full automorphism group Aut(X) generated by all one-parameter unipotent subgroups. We show that if SAut(X) is transitive on the smooth locus X reg , then it is infinitely transitive on X reg . In turn, the transitivity is equivalent to the flexibility of X . The latter means that for every smooth point x∈X reg the tangent space T x X is spanned by the velocity vectors at x of one-parameter unipotent subgroups of Aut(X) . We also provide various modifications and applications.
