Connecting orbits in quasiaffine spherical varieties via $B$-root subgroups

Roman Avdeev, Vladimir Zhgoon

Abstract

Given a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ with a Borel subgroup $B$ and a quasiaffine spherical $G$-variety $X$, we prove that every $G$-orbit $Y$ contained in the regular locus of $X$ can be connected by a $B$-normalized additive one-parameter group action with any minimal $G$-orbit in $X$ containing $Y$ in its closure. As a consequence, we show that the regular locus of $X$ is transitive for the subgroup in the automorphism group of $X$ generated by $G$ and all $B$-normalized additive one-parameter subgroups.

Connecting orbits in quasiaffine spherical varieties via $B$-root subgroups

Abstract

Given a connected reductive algebraic group with a Borel subgroup and a quasiaffine spherical -variety , we prove that every -orbit contained in the regular locus of can be connected by a -normalized additive one-parameter group action with any minimal -orbit in containing in its closure. As a consequence, we show that the regular locus of is transitive for the subgroup in the automorphism group of generated by and all -normalized additive one-parameter subgroups.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $X$ be a quasiaffine spherical $G$-variety (not necessarily normal) and let $Y$ be a $G$-orbit contained in the regular locus of $X$. Then for every minimal $G$-orbit $Y' \subset X$ containing $Y$ in its closure there exists a $B$-root subgroup on $X$ that connects $Y$ with $Y'$.
