Abstract: Let X be a projective variety with an action of a reductive group G. Each ample G-line bundle L on X defines an open subset Xmss(L) of semi-stable points. Following Dolgachev and Hu, define a GIT-class as the set of algebraic equivalence classes of L′s with fixed Xmss(L). We show that the GIT-classes are the relative interiors of rational polyhedral convex cones, which form a fan in the G-ample cone. We also study the corresponding variations of quotients Xmss(L)//G. This sharpens results of Thaddeus and Dolgachev-Hu.


The author sharpens and clarifies some of the results in the theory of variation of GIT-quotients for a reductive linear group \(G\) as developed in the work by \textit{M. Thaddeus} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 9, No. 3, 691-723 (1996; Zbl 0874.14042)] and \textit{I. Dolgachev} and \textit{Y. Hu} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 87, 5-56 (1998)]. In particular he shows that the GIT-classes (the sets of algebraic equivalence classes of linearized line bundles \(L\) defining the same set of semi-stable points) are equal to the relative interiors of rational polyhedral convex cones \(C_i\) which form a finite fan in the \(G\)-ample cone. The terminology in the paper under review follows the terminology of the paper by Dolgachev and Hu (loc. cit.), however there are slight modifications. For example, a wall is assumed to be always of codimension one, and a chamber is a connected component of the complement of the union of the walls. An example from the appendix to the Dolgachev-Hu paper written by the author shows that a (new) chamber could be an (old) wall of codimension 0. The convex cones \(C_i\) are the relative interiors of the faces of chambers. The theory is illustrated in the special case when \(G = k^*\times SL(2)\).
