In mathematics, the Borel fixed-point theorem is a fixed-point theorem in algebraic geometry generalizing the Lie-Kolchin theorem. The result was proved by Armand Borel (1956).

Statement of the theorem

Let G be a connected, solvable algebraic group acting regularly on a non-empty, complete algebraic variety V over an algebraically closed field k. Then G has a fixed point in V.
