Abstract
Let K be a connected compact Lie group acting as a group of holomorphic transformations on a Stein space Ω. In this case there exists a universal complexification Ωℂ that is a Stein space equipped with a holomorphic K ℂ -action and a K-equi variant open embedding ι:Ω↩Ωℂ so that, if φ: Ω → Z is any holomorphic K-equivariant mapping into a K ℂ-space Z, there exists Ψ : Ωℂ → Z so that φ = Ψ ° ι[4]. Thus, when studying the complex geometry of a K-action on a Stein space Ω, we need only study K-invariant Stein domains in a Stein K ℂ-space X. A natural starting point is the consideration of spaces Ω that appear as fibers of the categorical quotient Ω→Ω||K; i.e., the only K-invariant holomorphic functions on Ω are the constants O(Ω)K ≅ ℂ. It follows that Ωℂ is an affine K ℂ-space [10].
