Is the function field of a reductive Lie algebra purely transcendental over the field of invariants for the adjoint action

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the existence of a rational section of the categorical quotient morphism for the conjugation action of a simple group on itself induces the adjoint action of the group on its Lie algebra.

Splitting fields of G-varieties

TL;DR: In this paper, a lower bound on the size of a splitting field in terms of fixed points of nontoral abelian subgroups of a given algebraic group was proved for noncrossed product division algebras.
Journal ArticleDOI

On automorphisms of matrix invariants

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for m ≥ n + 1, the group Aut(Q m,n ) of representation type preserving algebraic automorphisms of Q m, n acts transitively on each point of Qm,n (τ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential dimension of moduli of curves and other algebraic stacks

TL;DR: In this article, a notion of essential dimension for an algebraic stack is introduced and a complete answer to the question above when the geometric objects X are smooth or stable curves is given.
