Invariant ideal generated by invariant elements

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group acting linearly on $\mathbb{C}^n$ and let $X$ be a $G$-invariant closed subvariety of $\mathbb{C}^n$. Is $X$ the zero-set of finitely many $G$-invariant functions? ...

Cover by $K$-invariant affine open sets

Let $X$ be a non-singular complex algebraic variety (quasi-projective if necessary) and $K$ a connected compact Lie group acting on $X$ real algebraically, i.e. the action map $K \times X \to X$ is ...

GIT and singularities

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group acting on a complex affine variety $X$ and let $X // G = \operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{C}[X]^G$ be the GIT quotient. Is there a relationship between the singular ...

Is the conjugation action linearizable?

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over some algebraically closed field $k$. Recall that, given an algebraic variety $X$ with an action of $G$, it is said that this action is linearizable if there ...

When Are Quotients Complete Intersections?

Let $S_{n}$ denote the permutation group on $n$ letters and $G\subset S_{n}$ a transitive subgroup. The inclusion of $G$ in $S_{n}$ defines an action of $G$ on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. By finding a ...
