Maximal Tori in Contactomorphism Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe a general scheme which associates conjugacy classes of tori in the contactomorphism group to transverse almost complex structures on a compact contact manifold. Moreover, to tori of Reeb type whose Lie algebra contains a Reeb vector field one can associate a Sasaki cone. Thus, for contact structures D of K-contact type one obtains a configuration of Sasaki cones called a bouquet such that each Sasaki cone is associated with a conjugacy class of tori of Reeb type.

Maximal Tori in the Contactomorphism Groups of Circle Bundles over Hirzebruch Surfaces
In a recent preprint Yael Karshon showed that there exist non-conjugate tori in a group of symplectomorphisms of a Hirzebruch surface. She counted them in terms of the cohomology class of the symplectic structure. We show that a similar phenomenon exists in the contactomorphism groups of pre-quantum circle bundles over Hirzebruch surfaces. Note that the contact structures in question are fillab...
متن کاملOn Maximal Tori in the Contactomorphism Groups of Regular Contact Manifolds
By a theorem of Banyaga the group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold P preserving a regular contact form α is a central S extension of the commutator of the group of symplectomorphisms of the base B = P/S. We show that if T is a Hamiltonian maximal torus in the group of symplectomorphism of B, then its preimage under the extension map is a maximal torus not only in the group Diff (P, α) of diffeo...
متن کاملNormalizers of Maximal Tori
Normalizers and p-normalizers of maximal tori in p-compact groups can be characterized by the Euler characteristic of the associated homogeneous spaces. Applied to centralizers of elementary abelian p-groups these criteria show that the normalizer of a maximal torus of the centralizer is given by the centralizer of a preferred homomorphism to the normalizer of the maximal torus; i.e. that “norm...
متن کاملZero-groups and maximal tori
We give a presentation of various results on zero-groups in o-minimal structures together with some new observations. In particular we prove that if G is a definably connected definably compact group in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, then for any maximal definably connected abelian subgroup T of G, G is the union of the conjugates of T . This can be seen as a generalization of t...
متن کاملComputing Maximal Tori Using LiE and Mathematica
This paper describes an algorithm for computing maximal tori of the reductive centralizer of a nilpotent element of an exceptional complex symmetric space. It illustrates also a good example of the use of Computer Algebra Systems to help answer important questions in the field of pure mathematics. Such tori play a fundamental rôle in several problems such as: classification of nilpotent orbits ...
