چکیده

Let (M,ω,Φ) be a Hamiltonian T -space and let H ⊆ T be a closed Lie subtorus. Under some technical hypotheses on the moment map Φ, we prove that there is no additive torsion in the integral full orbifoldK-theory of the orbifold symplectic quotient [M//H ]. Our main technical tool is an extension to the case of moment map level sets the well-known result that components of the moment map of a Hamiltonian T -space M are Morse-Bott functions on M . As first applications, we conclude that a large class of symplectic toric orbifolds, as well as certain S-quotients of GKM spaces, have integral full orbifoldK-theory that is free of additive torsion. Finally, we introduce the notion of semilocally Delzant which allows us to formulate sufficient conditions under which the hypotheses of the main theorem hold. We illustrate our results using low-rank coadjoint orbits of type A and B.

The Full Orbifold K-theory of Abelian Symplectic Quotients

In their 2007 paper, Jarvis, Kaufmann, and Kimura defined the full orbifold K-theory of an orbifold X, analogous to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of X in that it uses the obstruction bundle as a quantum correction to the multiplicative structure. We give an explicit algorithm for the computation of this orbifold invariant in the case when X arises as an abelian symplectic quotient. Our meth...

Orbifold cohomology of abelian symplectic reductions and the case of weighted projective spaces

These notes accompany a lecture about the topology of symplectic (and other) quotients. The aim is two-fold: first to advertise the ease of computation in the symplectic category; and second to give an account of some new computations for weighted projective spaces. We start with a brief exposition of how orbifolds arise in the symplectic category, and discuss the techniques used to understand ...

Orbifold Cohomology of Hypertoric Varieties

Hypertoric varieties are hyperkähler analogues of toric varieties, and are constructed as abelian hyperkähler quotients T C////T of a quaternionic affine space. Just as symplectic toric orbifolds are determined by labelled polytopes, orbifold hypertoric varieties are intimately related to the combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements. By developing hyperkähler analogues of symplectic techniques ...

The Cohomology Rings of Abelian Symplectic Quotients

Let M be a symplectic manifold, equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus T . We give an explicit formula for the rational cohomology ring of the symplectic quotient M//T in terms of the cohomology ring of M and fixed point data. Under some restrictions, our formulas apply to integral cohomology. In certain cases these methods enable us to show that the cohomology of the reduced space is to...

The K-theory of Abelian versus Nonabelian Symplectic Quotients

We compare the K-theories of symplectic quotients with respect to a compact connected Lie group and with respect to its maximal torus, and in particular we give a method for computing the former in terms of the latter. More specifically, let G be a compact connected Lie group with no torsion in its fundamental group, let T be a maximal torus of G, and let M be a compact Hamiltonian G-space. Let...
