Abstract: Let $k$ be a finitely generated field, let $X$ be an algebraic variety and $G$ a linear algebraic group, both defined over $k$. Suppose $G$ acts on $X$ and every element of a Zariski-dense semigroup $GammasubsetG(k)$ has a rational fixed point in $X(k)$. We then deduce, under some mild technical assumptions, the existence of a rational map $GoX$, defined over $k$, sending each element $ginG$ to a fixed point for $g$. The proof makes use of a recent result of Ferretti and Zannier on diophantine equations involving linear recurrences. As a by-product of the proof, we obtain a version of the classical Hilbert Irreducibility Theorem valid for linear algebraic groups.
