Abstract
The ring of global differential operators of a variety is in closed and deep relation with its automorphism scheme. This relation can be applied to the study of homogeneous schemes, giving some criteria of homogeneity, a generalization of Serre-Lang theorem, and some consequences about abelian varieties.
