Birational equivalence of exponential matrices

TL;DR
This work classifies exponential matrices up to birational equivalence, framing them as $ obreak abla G_a$-actions on projective spaces. In characteristic zero, every exponential matrix is birationally equivalent to either the identity or a single canonical form, giving a clean two-type classification. In positive characteristic, the $3 imes3$ case splits into three families, with the birational landscape depending on the characteristic: $p=2$ yields two primary families, while $p e 2$ includes an additional family, and indecomposable variants are described via GL-orbits of $p$-polynomial data. The results connect matrix exponential structures to birational $ abla G_a$-actions and provide explicit canonical representatives and orbit descriptions for the classifications.
Abstract
In this article, we consider birational equivalence of exponential matrices. In characteristic zero, we give a birational classification of exponential matrices of size $n$-by-$n$ $(n \geq 2)$, which consists of two types. And in positive characteristic, we give birational classifications of exponential matrices of sizes two-by-two and three-by-three, respectively.
