Why do most eigenspaces of a Lie algebra automorphism have finitely many orbits?
I'm interested in understanding the following lemma, which Vogan states (Lemma 4.8) in his paper The Local Langlands Conjecture (omitting the "well-known" proof).
Suppose $G$ is a complex ...

Is there a Chevalley map for spherical varieties?
If $G$ is a reductive group, $T$ a maximal torus and $W$ its Weyl group the Chevalley restriction theorem (in its "multiplicative" version) gives an isomorphism between the GIT quotient of $...

Nef cone of a GIT quotient
I want to know how to calculate nef cone of a GIT quotient. In particular let $X$ be a projective variety and $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$ and $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and chosen a $G$ ...

Is the union of conic orbits for a reductive group Zariski closed?
Let $G$ be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. If $V$ is a rational $G$-module then we can define the Hilbert nullcone $\mathcal{N}(V)$ to be the zero ...

Determining a toric GIT quotient
Consider the following $G = (\mathbb{C}^*)^{\times 3}$-action on $\mathbb{A}^6$:
$(\lambda_0,\lambda_1,\lambda_2) \cdot (x_0,x_1,x_2,y_0,y_1,y_2) = (\lambda_0x_0,\lambda_1x_1,\lambda_2x_2,\frac{\...

Why is Mumford's GIT-quotient so effective?
According to remark 6.14 in Shigeru Mukai's An introduction to invariants and moduli (unfortunately, the page is not available on Google Books, so I explain it below), the GIT-quotient of an affine ...

Why people usually consider reductive groups in GIT?
Where do people essentially use the reductive groups in the theory of GIT? Or how does reductive groups simplify the constructions in GIT?
I found that the property of completely reducible of ...

Is an affine "G-variety" with reductive stabilizers a toric variety?
Let $X=Spec(A)$ be a reduced normal affine scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $0$, with an action of a connected reductive group $G$. Suppose
$x\in X$ is a $G$-...

If Spec(A) has a G-fixed point and a dense G-orbit, is Spec(A) a cone?
[Edited to include a dense orbit]
Let $X=Spec(A)$ be a normal affine scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$, with an action of a linearly reductive group $G$. Suppose $x\in X$ is a $G$-...
