If $X$ is an affine $G$-variety, then the algebra of $U'$-invariants, $k[X]^U'$, is finitely generated and the quotient morphism $\\pi: X \\to X//U'$ is well-defined. In this article, we study properties of such quotient morphisms, e.g. the property that all the fibres of $\\pi$ are equidimensional. We also establish an analogue of the Hilbert-Mumford criterion for the null-cones with respect to $U'$-invariants.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-05-21T16:30:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14L30", "17B20", "22E46" ], "keywords": [ "maximal unipotent subgroup", "derived group", "quotient morphism", "invariants", "hilbert-mumford criterion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.4051P" } } }
