    • 2003, Igor Dolgachev, Lectures on Invariant Theory, Cambridge University Press, page xiii:
      Geometric invariant theory arises in an attempt to construct a quotient of an algebraic variety X by an algebraic action of a linear algebraic group G.
    • 2011, Teresa Crespo, Zbigniew Hajto, Algebraic Groups and Differential Galois Theory, American Mathematical Society, page xi:
      The differential Galois group of a homogeneous linear differential equation has a structure of linear algebraic group; hence it is endowed, in particular, with the Zariski topology. [] Kolchin used the differential algebra developed by Ritt and also built the foundations of the theory of linear algebraic groups.

      Actions of linear algebraic groups appear in many contexts. Throughout we assume that the base field is algebraically closed and of characteristic 0, as many constructions that we use (e.g., the correspondence between a linear algebraic group and its Lie algebra) only work well in characteristic 0.
