The paper studies reductive groups acting (algebraically) on an affine space. Gerald Schwarz found the first examples which are not linearizable, i.e., where the action is not conjugate to a linear action.
The main result of the paper is that every connected, non-abelian, reductive group admits a non-linearizable action on some affine space. In particular, every semisimple group has such an action.
The method is reduction to SL(2,k) and then using Schwarz's examples for that group.
