An induced additive action on a projective variety $X \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ is a regular action of the group $\mathbb{G}_a^m$ on $X$ with an open orbit, which can be extended to a regular action on the ambient projective space…

Let X be a normal affine algebraic variety with regular action of a torus \TT and T\subset\TT be a subtorus. We prove that each root of X with respect to T can be obtained by restriction of some root of X with respect to \TT. This allows to…

We identify the $G(\mathbb R)$-orbits of the real locus $X(\mathbb R)$ of any spherical complex variety $X$ defined over $\mathbb R$ and homogeneous under a split connected reductive group $G$ defined also over $\mathbb R$. This is done by…

In this paper, we give a characterization of the action of any abelian subgroup G of GL(n, C) on C^n. We prove that any orbit of G is regular with order m<=2n. Moreover, we give a method to determine this order. In the other hand, we…

Given a partial action of a topological group $G$ on a space $X$, we determine properties $\mathcal P$ which can be extended from $X$ to its globalization. We treat the cases when $\mathcal P$ is any of the following: Hausdorff, regular,…
