Abstract

We generalize the Białynicki-Birula decomposition from actions of Gm on smooth varieties to actions of a linearly reductive group G on finite type schemes and algebraic spaces. We also provide a relative version and briefly discuss the case of algebraic stacks.We define the Białynicki-Birula decomposition functorially: for a fixed G-scheme X and a monoid G‾ which partially compactifies G, the BB decomposition parameterizes G-schemes over X for which the G-action extends to the G‾-action. The freedom of choice of G‾ makes the theory richer than the Gm-case.
