Review text

Let G be an unipotent linear algebraic group over \({\mathbb{C}}\). Assume it acts meromorphically on a compact complex manifold M. Let X be a G- invariant irreducible reduced compact connected complex subspace of M. Denote by \(X^ G\) the fixed point set of the restricted action. The author shows that then \(\pi_ 1(X^ G)\) surjects onto \(\pi_ 1(X)\). This is a partial generalization of a Theorem of Horrocks saying that if G acts algebraically on a complete variety X then the algebraic fundamental groups of X and \(X^ G\) are isomorphic. The author first proves the theorem for \(G={\mathbb{C}}\), then he reduces the general case to the special one. He ends the paper with a conjecture that if g acts meromorphically on an arbitrary compact connected complex space then \(\pi_ 1(X^ G)\) is isomorphic to \(\pi_ 1(X)\) and \(\pi_ 2(X,X^ G)\) is generated by images of closures of \({\mathbb{C}}\)-orbits. In the proof of the main theorem the author shows that \(\pi_ 1(X,X^ G)=0\).
