Infinitesimal rational actions
Bianca Gouthier
Abstract
For any $k$-group scheme of finite type $G$ acting rationally on a $k$-variety $X$, if the action is generically free then the dimension of $\mathrm{Lie}(G)$ is upper bounded by the dimension of the variety. We show that this is the only obstruction when $k$ is a perfect field and $G$ is infinitesimal commutative trigonalizable. We also give necessary conditions to have faithful rational actions of infinitesimal commutative trigonalizable group schemes on varieties.
