Fixed points for reductive group actions on acyclic varieties

Martin Fankhauser (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let X be a smooth, affine complex variety, which, considered as a complex manifold, has the singular -cohomology of a point. Suppose that G is a complex algebraic group acting algebraically on X . Our main results are the following: if G is semi-simple, then the generic fiber of the quotient map π : X X / / G contains a dense orbit. If G is connected and reductive, then the action has fixed points if dim X / / G 3 .

Reductive group actions on affine varieties and their doubling

Dmitri I. Panyushev (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study G -actions of the form ( G : X × X * ) , where X * is the dual (to X ) G -variety. These actions are called the doubled ones. A geometric interpretation of the complexity of the action ( G : X ) is given. It is shown that the doubled actions have a number of nice properties, if X is spherical or of complexity one.
