The behavior of essential dimension under specialization. II

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let G be a linear algebraic group over a field. We show that, under mild assumptions, in a family of primitive generically free G-varieties over a base variety B the essential dimension of the geometric fibers may drop on a countable union of Zariski closed subsets of B and stays constant away from this countable union. We give several applications of this result.
