Abstract

We provide the existence, for every complex rational smooth affine curve $\Gamma$, of a linear action of $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ on the affine 3-dimensional space $\mathbb{A}^3$, together with a $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$-equivariant closed embedding of $\Gamma$ into $\mathbb{A}^3$. It is not possible to decrease the dimension of the target, the reason for this obstruction is also precisely described.
