Abstract: Let $k$ be an algebraically closed base field of characteristic zero. The category equivalence between central simple algebras and irreducible, generically free $PG{L}_n$-varieties is extended to the context of central simple algebras with involution. The associated variety of a central simple algebra with involution comes with an action of the semidirect product $P_{n,au}:=PG{L}_{n}times<au>$, where $au$ is the automorphism of $PGLn$ given by $au(h)=(h^{-1}{)}^{t}ranspose$. Basic properties of an involution are described in terms of the action of $P_{n,au}$ on the associated variety, and in particular in terms of the stabilizer in general position for this action.
