Abstract

We complete the classification of wonderful varieties initiated by D. Luna. We review the results that reduce the problem to the family of primitive varieties, and report the references where some of them have already been studied. Finally, we analyze the rest case-by-case.

Notes

  1. Here two morphisms \(f_1:X\rightarrow Y_1\), \(f_2:X\rightarrow Y_2\) are G-isomorphic if there is a G-equivariant isomorphism \(\varphi :Y_1\rightarrow Y_2\) such that \(f_2=\varphi \circ f_1\).
