Equivariant Embeddings of Algebraic Groups

Abstract

dc:description

We classify embeddings of algebraic groups as open orbits in affine varieties, generalizing results from toric geometry to connected reductive groups. In particular, we show that an embedding is determined by the set of one-parameter subgroups that have a limit in the embedding. We then investigate the structure of such sets of one-parameter subgroups and how their properties reflect properties of the associated embedding.
