Oct 6, 2013 at 17:20 comment added Vít Tuček Right. I got confused by the notation; I thought for a moment that $m.v$ is the usual matrix multiplication.
Oct 6, 2013 at 9:48 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain @VítTuček: Sure we are dealing with linear actions, but that does not mean that for a fixed $v$, the morphism $M\to V$ mapping $m\mapsto m.v$ is a linear map. It only means that for a fixed $m$, the morphism $V\to V$ defined by $v\mapsto m.v$ is a linear map.

Oct 6, 2013 at 8:47 comment added Rami Sorry, I made 2 mistakes. One of them is not crucial but the other seems to be so. As it written above the Lemma and its proof are wrong. :-(
Oct 6, 2013 at 0:00 comment added Vít Tuček I'm confused. I thought we are dealing with linear representation, are we not?
Oct 5, 2013 at 19:20 comment added Dave Anderson Unfortunately, the "lemma" is false. Take the map $(x,y) \to (x^2, xy)$. The image is the union of $(0,0)$ and the set where $x$ is nonzero, which is not even a variety.
Oct 5, 2013 at 15:26 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain What is $\mathrm{Ker}(f)$? Do you mean the fiber over $0$? It does not have to be a sub-vectorspace. You might look at $\mathbb P(M\setminus f^{-1}(0))$, but that is probably no longer projective, so the argument will not work.
Oct 5, 2013 at 14:31 comment added Vít Tuček Does it really matter? The "deprojectivization" is a cone anyway and so it does include zero. What I mean is that you can just replace $f$ by $\tilde{f} \colon \mathrm{End}(\mathbb{C}^n)/\mathrm{Ker}(f) \to V$.
Oct 5, 2013 at 13:29 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain The problem is that $\bar f$ is usually not well-defined. There could be matrices $m\in M\setminus\{0\}$ such that $mv=0$.
