Česnavičius's compactification conjecture for isotrivial reductive groups
Let be a Noetherian scheme and let be an isotrivial reductive group over , meaning that becomes split after a finite étale cover of . A -equivariant -fiberwise dense open immersion is an open immersion whose restriction to every fiber of is dense and which is compatible with the left action of . Česnavičius's compactification conjecture. There are a projective, finitely presented -scheme equipped with a left -action and a -equivariant -fiberwise dense open immersion
This conjecture asks for an equivariant projective compactification of every isotrivial reductive group scheme. The paper's abstract states that the conjecture is verified by constructing a smooth projective compactification; the supplied status is unknown, so the database status is left open pending confirmation of the resolution.
