Group actions on varieties or schemes (quotients) (14L30) Linear algebraic groups over arbitrary fields (20G15)

Abstract: We explore connected affine algebraic groups $G$, which enjoy the following finiteness property $m(F)$: for every algebraic action of $G$, the closure of every $G$-orbit contains only finitely many $G$-orbits. We obtain two main results. First, we classify such groups. Namely, we prove that a connected affine algebraic group $G$ enjoys property $m(F)$ if and only if $G$ is either a torus or a product of a torus and a one-dimensional connected unipotent algebraic group. Secondly, we obtain a characterization of such groups in terms of the modality of action in the sense of V. Arnol'd. Namely, we prove that a connected affine algebraic group $G$ enjoys property $m(F)$ if and only if for every irreducible algebraic variety $X$ endowed with an algebraic action of $G$, the modality of $X$ is equal to $dimX-ma{x}_{xinX}Gcdotx$.
