Let G be an algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k, and RAT(G) the category of rational G-modules. For any closed subgroup H of G, there is an induced functor RAT(H)\(\to RAT(G)\). Denote its derived functors by \(L^ n_{H,G}(\)-) for \(n\geq 0\). By a result of \textit{E. Cline}, \textit{B. Parshall}, and \textit{L. Scott} [Math. Ann. 230, 1-14 (1977; Zbl 0378.20033)] G/H is an affine variety if and only if these derived functors are 0 for \(n\geq 1\). This paper attempts to find a property of these functors which characterizes the case of a projective quotient (i.e. H is a parabolic subgroup of G). The author conjectures that, if G is a reductive algebraic group and H is a closed connected subgroup of G containing some maximal torus, then H is parabolic if and only if \(L^ n_{H,G}(\)-) preserves finite dimensionality for all n. The author reduces the conjecture to the case when H is solvable, and proves the conjecture in characteristic 0. Some partial results in the prime characteristic case and some related results are also obtained.
