GIT quotient of a reductive Lie algebra by the maximal torus

Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. One knows a lot about the GIT quotient $\mathfrak{g}/\!/G$: the invariant ring is a free polynomial algebra on $\mathrm{...

Is $\langle\chi,\lambda\rangle=0$, whenever the limit exists? Where is the mistake?

Suppose $G$ is a linearly reductive algebraic group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\mathbb{C}$. This induces an action on the coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[V]$ (see here)....

When the action of reductive group on algebraic variety is not equidimensional?

I saw the question When is an almost geometric quotient flat? which said "The quotient $\pi$ is flat if and only if $\pi$ is equidimensional and $X$ is smooth". I am curious is there an ...
