Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to investigate whether an algebraic group action on a variety has a nice algebraic quotient. A classical book in this respect is “Geometric Invariant Theory” of Mumford (see [15]). The major part of the book only concerns reductive groups. More recently some work has been done to do similar things for general algebraic groups (see [8], [5], [6], [7] and [4]).
