Classification of visible actions for *reducible* representations?

Is there a classification of the pairs $(G,V)$ such that $G$ is reductive [and connected, if you like], and $G$ acts faithfully and visibly on $V$ - crucially, including all cases where $V$ is ...

Extensions of algebraic groups and extensions of fpqc sheaves

There are at least two ways to define $\operatorname{Ext}^p(F,G)$ when $F$ and $G$ are commutative algebraic groups over a field $k$: Pass to the associated fppf sheaves and use an injective ...

Has the notion of a unipotent group scheme been studied?

The concept of a unipotent algebraic group over a field has been extensively studied and is fundamental in algebraic geometry. However, has the notion of a unipotent group scheme over a general base ...

Irreducibility of Białynicki-Birula cells

Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a smooth complex projective variety, and consider a non-trivial action of $\mathbb{C}^*$ on $X$. For any connected fixed component $Y$ of the fixed point locus, we may ...

Algebraicity of the group of equivariant automorphisms of an almost homogeneous variety

The base field is the field of complex numbers. Let $G$ be a connected linear algebraic group. Let $X$ be an almost homogeneous algebraic variety, i.e. $G$ acts on $X$ with a dense open orbit $U \...

Smooth unipotent algebraic groups over $\mathbb A^n$

Let $G\to \mathbb A^n_{\mathbb C}$ be a smooth morphism whose fibers at any point of $\mathbb A^n$ are unipotent groups. Can we conclude that $G\simeq \mathbb A^{n+N}_{\mathbb C}$ for some $N$, as a ...

Induced action on infinitesimal thickenings by an algebraic group

Let $X$ be an irreducible locally noetherian $k$-scheme (for $k$ any field), $G$ an algebraic group acting on $X$ via $a:G \times X \to X$ and $x \in X$ a closed point, which is by Zariski's lemma ...

Action of an algebraic group $G$ on a scheme $X$ with fixed rational point

Let $X$ be an irreducible locally noetherian $k$-scheme ($k$ any field) and $G$ an algebraic $k$-group acting on $X$. Proposition 3.1.6 in these notes by M. Brion claims Let $a : G \times X \to X$ be ...

Questions about the fixed point functor $X^G$ of a $G$-scheme

Let $X$ a (locally Noetherian; but not sure if that's really matter) $k$-scheme, $G$ a $k$-group scheme acting on $X$ via morphism $a:X \times G \to X$. The fixed point functor of $X$ (where $X$ is ...

Normalizer of Levi subgroup

Let $G$ be a reductive group (we can work on an algebraically closed field if needed) and let $L$ be a parabolic subgroup, i.e. the centralizer of a certain torus $T \subseteq G$. Associated with this ...

GIT quotient and orbifolds

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 ...
