Abstract:
In order to inquire into invariants of non-semisimple groups, we introduce and study relative versions of equidimensionality and stabilty, which are called relative quasi-equidimensionality and relative stability, of actions of affine algebraic groups, especially of reductive groups, on affine varieties. As an application of our results, for complex reductive groups of semisimple rank one, we characterize, respectively, relatively stable representations and relatively equidimensional representations and, consequently, show that every equidimensional representation is cofree.
