Orbits of the action of $A_6$ on $\mathbb{P}_2$ By a paper of Scott Crass  http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/math/9903111v1.pdf 
we know that $A_6$ (Permutation on 6 elements) is an automorphism group of $\mathbb{P}_2$ which fix a sextic. What is the geometry of this action i.e., what are the orbits of this action explicitly.
 A: As noted in the comments, this is a classical object, credited to
[Valentiner 1889]; the paper
by Robert Crass that you cite refers to that paper and also to work of
Wiman [1895] and Fricke [1926] that should contain the answer to your
question, and Crass himself collects those answers starting on page 13.
The generic point of course has trivial stabilizer.  For each of the $45$
involutions $i \in A_6$ there's a fixed line $l_i$, and most points on each
$l_i$ are stabilized by just $i$, and thus have an orbit of size $180$.
[The normalizer $N_i$ is an $8$-element dihedral group, and $N_i/\{1,i\}$
is a Klein four-group acting on $l_i$; the orbit of the generic point on $l_i$
consists of its four images under that four-group, and four further images
on each of the other $44$ lines, for a total of $4 \cdot 45 = 180$.]
There are two special orbits of size $60$, and one each of size $45$ and $36$,
with dihedral stabilizers of size $6$, $8$, $10$ [NB there are two
conjugacy classes of $S_3$'s in $A_6$, related by an outer automorphism
of $S_6$]; when the stabilizer is dihedral of size $2n$, the point
is at the intersection of $n$ lines $l_i$ corresponding to the $n$
non-central involutions in the group.  There is also a $90$-point orbit
with cyclic stabilizer of order $4$.
You asked for "the orbits of this action explicitly"; if you want
explicit coordinates, you must specify coordinates for ${\bf P}^2$
and matrices for (generators of) the projective action of $A_6$.
Fortunately Crass gives these coordinates and generators on pages 4ff. $-$
actually two choices ("octahedral cordinates" and "icosahedral coordinates",
citing and slightly modifying Fricke [1926]).
Alternatively you could go to the ATLAS [1985] entry for $A_6$,
and go to the "$2 \times 3 . A_6$" paragraph of the Constructions section.
This gives coordinates for the $45$-point orbit on the
lift of the Valentiner group to a complex reflection group of
$3 \times 3$ matrices (#27 in the list of Shephard and Todd [1954]).
Regarding them as dual coordinates for $45$ lines $l_i$, you should be
able to compute all the intersections that give orbits shorter than $180$,
and also to find explicit matrices for the involutions $i$ that
generate the group (and thus in particular the $4$-cycles that
stabilize the $90$-point orbit).
