Part of the definition of an affine toric variety is that the action of the torus sitting as an open dense subset of the variety extends algebraically to the whole variety. Is there an easy example of a variety which contains an open subset isomorphic to a torus for which the action cannot be extended algebraically?

1$\begingroup$ What do you mean by glue together points? Will this still be separated and irreducible? $\endgroup$– HNuerCommented Jan 26, 2012 at 17:00

$\begingroup$ You just need to define the local ring at the glued spot. If you choose to specify that the intersection is transverse, then you will get a separated irreducible scheme. $\endgroup$– S. Carnahan ♦Commented Jan 27, 2012 at 9:41
