We classify affine varieties with an action of a connected, reductive algebraic group such that the group is isomorphic to an open orbit in the variety. This is accomplished by associating a set of one-parameter subgroups of the group to the variety, characterizing such sets, and proving that sets of this type correspond to affine embeddings of the group. Applications of this classification to the existence of morphisms are then given.

The aim of this paper is to study the virtual classes of representation varieties of surface groups onto the rank one affine group. We perform this calculation by three different approaches: the geometric method, based on stratifying the representation variety into simpler pieces; the arithmetic method, focused on counting their number of points over finite fields; and the quantum method, which performs the computation by means of a Topological Quantum Field Theory. We also discuss the corresponding moduli spaces of representations and character varieties, which turn out to be non-equivalent due to the non-reductiveness of the underlying group.
The main result asserts: Let $G$ be a reductive, affine algebraic group and let $(rho ,V)$ be a regular representation of $G$. Let $X$ be an irreducible $mathbb{C}^{ times } G$ invariant Zariski closed subset such that $G$ has a closed orbit that has maximal dimension among all orbits (this is equivalent to: generic orbits are closed). Then there exists an open subset, $W$,of $X$ in the metric topology which is dense with complement of measure $0$ such that if $x ,y in W$ then $left (mathbb{C}^{ times } Gright )_{x}$ is conjugate to $left (mathbb{C}^{ times } Gright )_{y}$. Furthermore, if $G x$ is a closed orbit of maximal dimension and if $x$ is a smooth point of $X$ then there exists $y in W$ such that $left (mathbb{C}^{ times } Gright )_{x}$ contains a conjugate of $left (mathbb{C}^{ times } Gright )_{y}$. The proof involves using the Kempf-Ness theorem to reduce the result to the principal orbit type theorem for compact Lie groups.
We establish a method for calculating the Poincare series of moduli spaces constructed as quotients of smooth varieties by suitable non-reductive group actions; examples of such moduli spaces include moduli spaces of unstable vector or Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve, with a Harder-Narasimhan type of length two. To do so, we first prove a result concerning the smoothness of fixed point sets for suitable non-reductive group actions on smooth varieties. This enables us to prove that quotients of smooth varieties by such non-reductive group actions, which can be constructed using Non-Reductive GIT via a sequence of blow-ups, have at worst finite quotient singularities. We conclude the paper by providing explicit formulae for the Poincare series of these non-reductive GIT quotients.
Let $pi_1(C)$ be the algebraic fundamental group of a smooth connected affine curve, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ of countable cardinality. Let $N$ be a normal (resp. characteristic) subgroup of $pi_1(C)$. Under the hypothesis that the quotient $pi_1(C)/N$ admits an infinitely generated Sylow $p$-subgroup, we prove that $N$ is indeed isomorphic to a normal (resp. characteristic) subgroup of a free profinite group of countable cardinality. As a consequence, every proper open subgroup of $N$ is a free profinite group of countable cardinality.
The wall-and-chamber structure of the dependence of the reductive GIT quotient on the choice of linearisation is well known. In this article, we first give a brief survey of recent results in non-reductive GIT, which apply when the unipotent radical is graded. We then examine the dependence of these non-reductive quotients on the linearisation and an additional parameter, the choice of one-parameter subgroup grading the unipotent radical, and arrive at a picture similar to the reductive one.
