Abstract

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over a perfect field. We study the representability of the equivariant automorphism group of G-varieties. For a broad class of complexity-one G-varieties, we show that this group is representable by a group scheme locally of finite type when the base field has characteristic zero. We also establish representability by a linear algebraic group in the case of almost homogeneous G-varieties of arbitrary complexity. Finally, using an exact sequence description of the equivariant automorphism group, we deduce that complexity-one G-varieties with representable equivariant automorphism group admit only finitely many real forms.
