Let \(G\) be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let us recall that a regular \(G\)-action on an affine variety \(Y\) is stable, if there is an open dense subset \(U\subseteq Y\) such that the orbit \(Gy\) of any point \(y\in U\) is closed in \(Y\). Consider a regular \(G\)-action on an arbitrary algebraic variety \(X\). The authors prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (i)\ there exists an affine variety \(Y\) with a stable \(G\)-action such that \(X\) is birationally \(G\)-isomorphic to \(Y\); (ii)\ there is an open dense subset \(V\subseteq X\) such that the stabilizer \(G_x\) of any point \(x\in V\) is reductive. One implication is a direct consequence of Matsushima's criterion. The proof in another direction is based on a study of homogeneous fiber spaces.
