A characteristic-free proof that the action of a connected algebraic group $G$ on the fundam...

Let $G$ be an algebraic group (not necessarily linear) defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, acting on a smooth integral $k$-variety $X$. Let $x_0\in X(k)$ and let $\pi_1(X,x_0)$ denote the …

Connected components of a certain real homogeneous space

Let $m>0$ be a natural number. Consider the following semisimple algebraic groups over ${\mathbb{R}}$: $$ G={\mathrm{SU}}(2m,4m),\ \ H={\mathrm{SU}}(2m,2m)\times{\mathrm{SU}}(2m). $$ We embed $H$ into …

Smooth morphism of smooth varieties with fibres isomorphic to an affine space

Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth varieties over the field of complex numbers $\bf C$ (smooth integral separated schemes of finite type over $\bf C$). Let $$f\colon X\to Y$$ be a surjective morphism such tha …

Morphisms of the spherical data of spherical homogeneous spaces

Let $G$ be a semisimple group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $X=G/H$ be a spherical homogeneous space, then $X$ defines a spherical datum (Luna datum) $\mathcal L(X)=(N,\mathcal V, \mathcal D, \rho,\varsig …

Cayley Transform for all reductive groups a.k.a an algebraic logarithm

A Cayley map is a $G$-equivariant birational isomorphism $\lambda: G\to \mathfrak{g}$ (which does not have to exist). A connected linear algebraic group $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$ is called a Cayley grou …

Existence of zero cycles of degree one vs existence of rational points

In addition to Jason's answer, I mention the following result, which I found out to be not known to experts (except Jason). Theorem. Let $X$ be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebra …

Automorphisms of $SL_n$ as a variety

What are the automorphisms of $SL_n$ as an algebraic variety? In other words, let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 (e.g., $k=\mathbb{C}$). Let $\tau$ be an automorphism of $SL …

The group of $G$-automorphisms of a spherical variety from the spherical datum?

Let $G$ be a semisimple group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $X=G/H$ be a homogeneous spherical variety. By Losev's theorem, the spherical $G$-variety $X$ is uniquely determined by its spherical datum, see …

Smooth morphisms vs. submersions

This question is almost a duplicate of that question, which has a good answer. The difference is that I ask for references rather than proofs. By a reference I mean a reference to a book, or to a pap …
