A characterization of linearizability for holomorphic $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions (2012.01361v2)

Published 2 Dec 2020 in math.CV and math.GR

Abstract: Let $G$ be a reductive complex Lie group acting holomorphically on $X=\mathbb{C}n$. The (holomorphic) Linearization Problem asks if there is a holomorphic change of coordinates on $\mathbb{C}n$ such that the $G$-action becomes linear. Equivalently, is there a $G$-equivariant biholomorphism $\Phi \colon X\to V$ where $V$ is a $G$-module? There is an intrinsic stratification of the categorical quotient $X /!/G$, called the Luna stratification, where the strata are labeled by isomorphism classes of representations of reductive subgroups of $G$. Suppose that there is a $\Phi$ as above. Then $\Phi$ induces a biholomorphism $\phi\colon X/!/G\to V/!/G$ which is stratified, i.e., the stratum of $ X/!/G$ with a given label is sent isomorphically to the stratum of $V/!/G$ with the same label. The counterexamples to the Linearization Problem construct an action of $G$ such that $X/!/G$ is not stratified biholomorphic to any $V/!/G$. Our main theorem shows that, for a reductive group $G$ with $G0=\mathbb{C}*$, the existence of a stratified biholomorphism of $X/!/G$ to some $V/!/G$ is not only necessary but also sufficient for linearization. In fact, we do not have to assume that $X$ is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}n$, only that $X$ is a Stein manifold.
