- ItemCocharacter-Closure and the Rational Hilbert-Mumford Theorem(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014) Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, GerhardFor a field k, let G be a reductive k-group and V an affine k-variety on which G acts. Using the notion of cocharacter-closed G(k)-orbits in V , we prove a rational version of the celebrated Hilbert-Mumford Theorem from geometric invariant theory. We initiate a study of applications stemming from this rationality tool. A number of examples are discussed to illustrate the concept of cocharacter-closure and to highlight how it differs from the usual Zariski-closure.
- ItemCocharacter-closure and spherical buildings(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015) Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Benjamin, Martin; Röhrle, GerhardLet k be a field, let G be a reductive k-group and V an affine k-variety on which G acts. In this note we continue our study of the notion of cocharacter-closed G(k)-orbits in V . In earlier work we used a rationality condition on the point stabilizer of a G-orbit to prove Galois ascent/descent and Levi ascent/descent results concerning cocharacter-closure for the corresponding G(k)-orbit in V . In the present paper we employ building-theoretic techniques to derive analogous results.
