Equivariant models of spherical varieties

Abstract: Let

G

be a connected semisimple group over an algebraically closed field

k

of characteristic 0. Let

Y = G / H

be a spherical homogeneous space of

G

, and let

Y^{'}

be a spherical embedding of

Y

. Let

k_{0}

be a subfield of

k

. Let

G_{0}

be a

k_{0}

-model (

k_{0}

-form) of

G

. We show that if

G_{0}

is an inner form of a split group and if the subgroup

H

of

G

is spherically closed, then

Y

admits a

G_{0}

-equivariant

k_{0}

-model. If we replace the assumption that

H

is spherically closed by the stronger assumption that

H

coincides with its normalizer in

G

, then

Y

and

Y^{'}

admit compatible

G_{0}

-equivariant

k_{0}

-models, and these models are unique.

Let \(G\) be a connected semisimple group over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of characteristic 0. Let \(Y =G/H\) be a spherical homogeneous space of \(G\). Let \(Y'\) be a spherical embedding of \(Y\). Let \(k_0\) be a subfield of \(k\). Let \(G_0\) be a \(k_0\)-model (\(k_0\)-form) of \(G\). It is shown that if \(G_0\) is an inner form of a split group, and if the subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) is spherically closed, then \(Y\) admits a \(G_0\)-equivariant \(k_0\)-model. When the assumption that \(H\) is spherically closed is replaced by the stronger assumption that \(H\) coincides with its normalizer in \(G\), it is shown that \(Y\) and \(Y'\) admit compatible \(G_0\)-equivariant \(k_0\)-models, and these models are unique. The paper is very clearly and carefully written, and discusses in detail relations to other works in the area.
