Abstract:
Let be an action of the reductive group on the projective scheme . For every linearization of this action in an ample line bundle, there is an open set of -semistable points. We provide an elementary and geometric proof for the fact that there exist only finitely many open sets of the form . This observation was originally due to Biaynicki-Birula and Dolgachev and Hu.
