Can the orbit with respect to a rotation on the torus hit an algebraic variety infinitely often?

Question: Does there exist a $d$-tuple $\alpha = (\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_d) \in \mathbb{R}^d$ (with $1,\alpha_1, \dots,\alpha_d$ linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$) and an algebraic variety $V \...

Does Borel fixed-point theorem hold for Deligne-Mumford stacks?

Let $X$ be a proper Deligne-Mumford stack over $\mathbb{C}$ with an action by a complex torus $T$. Let $X^T$ denote the fixed locus. Question: Is the following statement true? ...

The scheme-theoretic flow-in locus

Let $R$ be a ring with an $\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{Z}$-grading. The $\mathbb{N}$-grading allows you to construct the scheme $X = \operatorname{Proj} R$, and the $\mathbb{Z}$-grading defines an action ...

Singular schemes with a torus action and embedded points

I've got a couple rather geometric questions about the following setup. Let $X$ be a scheme over an algebraically closed field ($\mathbb{C}$, say) with the action of a torus $T$, such that the action ...

Twisting stable maps to C* equivariant space by a line bundle

Let $X$ be a $\mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant algebraic variety. Then there is a notion of a map to $X$ twisted by a line bundle. Namely, let $B$ be a variety and $L/B$ a line bundle. Let $P_L=L\setminus B$...

Decompositions from torus actions and compactness of (sub-)level sets

Let $T=\mathbb{C}^{*}$ act on a smooth complex quasi-projective variety $X$. Assume that the limit point $\lim_{t\to 0}t\cdot x$ exists for every $x\in X$. From the induced $U(1)$-action and its (...

Determining a toric GIT quotient

Consider the following $G = (\mathbb{C}^*)^{\times 3}$-action on $\mathbb{A}^6$: $(\lambda_0,\lambda_1,\lambda_2) \cdot (x_0,x_1,x_2,y_0,y_1,y_2) = (\lambda_0x_0,\lambda_1x_1,\lambda_2x_2,\frac{\...

Are schematic fixed points of a torus action on an affinized twistor deformation flat?

This is a follow-up to some earlier questions about flatness of schematic fixed points of certain deformations. Since I could never come up with good enough hypotheses in those examples, let me try a ...

How can I compute minimal distance of the AG-code on the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_3$?

Let $\mathbb{F}_3$ be the Hirzebruch surface (with index $3$) over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $\pi\!: \mathbb{F}_3 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ be the unique $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration on $\mathbb{F}_3$. ...

Lifting of torus action to line bundle

Let $\mathbb{P}(V) = \mathbb{P}(\mathbb C \oplus \mathbb C)$ be with a $\mathbb C^*$ action : $\lambda (u,v) = (u,\lambda v)$. There are two fixed points of this action, say $0$ and $\infty$. What ...
