Feb 15, 2010 at 21:38 comment added Martin Orr Thanks for the answer, but there is one thing I don't understand: if $a \in Y(A)$ and $x \in \Sigma = X(\bar{k})$, then what does $a(x)$ mean?
Feb 15, 2010 at 21:36 comment added Martin Orr The condition (2) is there because I didn't want to be limited to cases where the Galois action is induced from an action on affine space. For example, I wanted to be able to take the subscheme of $\mathbb{A}^2_\mathbb{C}$ defined by $X - iY = 0$, let $\mathop{\mathrm{Gal}}(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{R})$ act on its $\mathbb{C}$ points trivially, and say that this descends (to something isomorphic to $\mathbb{A}^1_\mathbb{R}$). Condition (2) was my attempt to write down a condition to do this, which might not be correct. I am not sure why I wanted this.
