Abstract

If GG is a finite \ell-group acting on an affine space An\mathbb{A}^n over a finite field KK of cardinality prime to \ell, Serre has shown that there exists a rational fixed point. We generalize this to the case where KK is a henselian discretely valued field of characteristic zero with algebraically closed residue field and with residue characteristic different from \ell. We also treat the case where the residue field is finite of cardinality qq such that \ell divides q1q-1. To this aim, we study group actions on weak N\'eron models.
