Smooth affine group schemes over the dual numbers

One - Dimensional Affine Group Schemes

The construction of these groups is straightforward; to an algebra B we assign the quotient R,,, G,/G,. The main effort comes in showing that these are the only possibilities. The key to this, and the basic technical idea in the paper, is the use of N&on blow-ups of group schemes over valuation rings. This process has been used before [ 1, 21 as a tool for resolving singularities, but in fact i...

Canonical Artin Stacks over Log Smooth Schemes

We develop a theory of toric Artin stacks extending the theories of toric Deligne-Mumford stacks developed by Borisov-Chen-Smith, Fantechi-Mann-Nironi, and Iwanari. We also generalize the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd theorem to the case of diagonalizable group schemes. These are both applications of our main theorem which shows that a toroidal embedding X is canonically the good moduli space (in the...

Moduli of Affine Schemes with Reductive Group Action

For a connected reductive group G and a finite–dimensional G–module V , we study the invariant Hilbert scheme that parameterizes closed G–stable subschemes of V affording a fixed, multiplicity–finite representation of G in their coordinate ring. We construct an action on this invariant Hilbert scheme of a maximal torus T of G, together with an open T–stable subscheme admitting a good quotient. ...
