Actions of compact groups on coherent sheaves (Q1288190)

This paper studies the action of compact real Lie group \(K\) on complex space \(X\) for which the associated reduced \(K\)-space admits a semistable quotient. A concrete example of such \(X\) is the Stein manifold. Here is proved that there exists a complex space \(X^{c}\) endowed with a holomorphic action of the universal complexification \(K^{c}\) of \(K\) which contains \(X\) as an open \(K\)-stable subset. The main result is an Extension Theorem for coherent sheaves, that is, every continuous coherent \(K\)-sheaf over \(X\) can be uniquely extended to a holomorphic coherent \(K^{c}\)-sheaf over \(X^{c}\). This result holds for the context of both the reduced spaces and nonreduced spaces.
