Generators of the same degree in a graded ring and GIT quotient

Let $S$ be a graded ring i.e. $S_d\cdot S_e \subset S_{d+e}$ where $S_d$ is the degree $d$ part of $S$. Assume $S_{<0}$ vanishes. For simplicity, you may think of $S$ as a graded subring of $\...

Projective and Quasiprojective quotients

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a projective variety $X$. Then $G$ also acts on $X-X^G$, where $X^G$ is the fixed locus. The GIT quotient varieties $X/G$ and $(X-X^G)/G$ are projective and quasi-...
