Abstract

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group acting on a normal variety X. This note contains two proofs of a basic theorem of Sumihiro which we hope are more transparent than the original one.

Theorem: 1. Every point of X has a G-stable open quasi-projective neighborhood.
2. If X is quasi-projective then it can be equivariantly embedded into a projective space.

The first proof uses the language of line bundles, the second field and valuation theory. In the last section, the Picard group of G is studied.
