Precise statement for "orbit of algebraic group is open in its Zariski closure" and source of proof

16 Views Asked by At

My question is about the precise clarification (and source of proof) of the following statement I have heard of:

Let $H$ be an algebraic group action on a variety $X$. Let $x\in X$. Then $H.x$ is open in its Zariski closure.

I don't know what conditions I am supposed to impose on $H$ and $X$. But the scenarios I often work with is $H$ as a subgroup of $G$, acting on some $G/L$, where all groups here are algebraic over $\mathbb R$.

Can anyone tell me what the precise statement of this is and where to find a proof (please tell me the number of theorem you refer to in some book, thanks). I do not know schemes and stacks so please refrain from quotient theories that are too abstract for the above settings.
