Projective orbit schemes #
For a finite-dimensional representation of a finite-type affine group scheme over an algebraically closed field, the orbit of a line has a locally closed scheme structure. Construct it as the scheme-theoretic image of the projective orbit morphism inside the coborder of its topological image. The resulting immersion has exactly the full orbit image, including its nonclosed points. The map from the group to the orbit scheme is surjective, quasi-compact, locally of finite type, and scheme-theoretically dominant.
This is the scheme on which to study flatness of the orbit map and its comparison with the homogeneous quotient by the stabilizer of the line. Flatness and that quotient comparison are separate results. No smoothness or reducedness hypothesis is imposed on the group; when the group is reduced, so is the orbit scheme.
The construction combines Comodule.isLocallyClosed_range_projectiveOrbitMap with
Scheme.Hom.locallyClosedImage and its factorization API.
