Abstract

Let kk be a field, let GG be a reductive kk-group and VV an affine kk-variety on which GG acts. In this note we continue our study of the notion of cocharacter-closed G(k)G(k)-orbits in VV. In earlier work we used a rationality condition on the point stabilizer of a GG-orbit to prove Galois ascent/descent and Levi ascent/descent results concerning cocharacter-closure for the corresponding G(k)G(k)-orbit in VV. In the present paper we employ building-theoretic techniques to derive analogous results.
