Abstract

Given a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ with a Borel subgroup $B$ and a quasiaffine spherical $G$-variety $X$, we prove that every $G$-orbit $Y$ contained in the regular locus of $X$ can be connected by a $B$-normalized additive one-parameter group action with any minimal $G$-orbit in $X$ containing $Y$ in its closure. As a consequence, we show that the regular locus of $X$ is transitive for the subgroup in the automorphism group of $X$ generated by $G$ and all $B$-normalized additive one-parameter subgroups.
