%0 Journal Article %T On some smooth projective two-orbits varieties with Picard number 1 %A Boris Pasquier %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We classify all smooth projective horospherical varieties with Picard number 1. We prove that the automorphism group of any such variety X acts with at most two orbits and that this group still acts with only two orbits on X blown up at the closed orbit. We characterize all smooth projective two-orbits varieties with Picard number 1 that satisfy this latter property. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3534v1
