Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive group. Suppose $G$ acts on a smooth complex affine variety $X$. Assume the stabiliser $G_x$ of every point $x\in X$ is finite. Is it true that $X/\!/G$ is an orbifold? I.e., does $X/\!/G$ have, at worst, quotient singularities?

    $\begingroup$ If $X$ is singular then this is certainly not true $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry I meant to include the word smooth. It is corrected now. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ How about Luna's slice theorem? This post. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12 at 7:19
  • $\begingroup$ The Luna slice theorem does indeed seem to be relevant. Although I found the answer to this post better suited for the question. If somebody can expand this into an answer, I would be grateful. mathoverflow.net/questions/435428/… $\endgroup$
