Removed waffling about "linearizable"; included implication of H^2 vanishing.
Apr 23, 2010 at 14:09 comment added George McNinch @Jim: right - when I wrote yesterday I couldn't remember "non-linearizable" examples.
Apr 23, 2010 at 12:28 comment added Jim Humphreys I agree that examples unrelated to Witt vectors might occur. There may even be examples which look entirely artificial, but of course it would be much nicer if instead they all arose naturally in a scheme-theoretic framework. Your last comment is important to keep in mind, since work from about 1989 by Gerry Schwarz and others has made it clear that some reductive group actions on affine space can't be linearized. Anyway, low degree cohomology is a natural tool if one can learn enough about it.
