There is a well-known procedure -induction- for extending an action of a subgroup H of a Lie group G on a topological space X to an action of G on an associated space. Induction can also extend a smooth action of a subgroup H of a Lie group G on a manifold M to a smooth action of G on an associated manifold. In this paper elementary methods are used to show that induction also works in the category of (nonsingular) real algebraic varieties and regular or entire maps if G is a compact abelian Lie group.
