Corollary 3.22. In characteristic zero, the quotient X/GX/G of a quasi-projective derived scheme XX by a linear action of an affine algebraic group GG is perfect.

Proof. First note that in characteristic zero, B​G​LnBGL_{n} is clearly perfect: the compact and dualizable objects are both finite dimensional representations which generate.

If GG is an affine algebraic group, we can embed G↪G​LnG\hookrightarrow GL_{n} as a subgroup of G​LnGL_{n} for some nn. Thus we obtain a morphism B​G→B​G​LnBG\to BGL_{n} with fiber G​Ln/GGL_{n}/G. By a theorem of Chevalley [Ch], G​Ln/GGL_{n}/G is a quasi-projective variety, and so by Proposition 3.21, B​GBG itself is perfect.

Finally, for a quasi-projective derived scheme XX with a linear action of GG, the morphism X/G→B​GX/G\to BG is quasi-projective, so applying Proposition 3.21 again, we conclude that X/GX/G is perfect. ∎
