چکیده
Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group K on a compact symplectic manifold. We find descriptions of the kernel of the Kirwan map corresponding to a regular value of the moment map κK . We start with the case when K is a torus T : we determine the kernel of the equivariant Kirwan map (defined by Goldin in [Go]) corresponding to a generic circle S ⊂ T , and show how to recover from this the kernel of κT , as described by Tolman and Weitsman in [To-We]. (In the situation when the fixed point set of the torus action is finite, similar results have been obtained in our previous papers [Je], [Je-Ma]). For a compact nonabelian Lie group K we will use the “non-abelian localization formula” of [Je-Ki1] and [Je-Ki2] to establish relationships — some of them obtained by Tolman and Weitsman in [To-We] — between Ker(κK) and Ker(κT ), where T ⊂ K is a maximal torus. In the appendix we prove that the same relationships remain true in the case when 0 is no longer a regular value of μT .

متن کاملThe Kernel of the Equivariant Kirwan Map and the Residue Formula
Using the notion of equivariant Kirwan map, as defined by Goldin [3], we prove that — in the case of Hamiltonian torus actions with isolated fixed points — Tolman and Weitsman’s description of the kernel of the Kirwan map can be deduced directly from the residue theorem of [6] and [7]. A characterization of the kernel of the Kirwan map in terms of residues of one variable (i.e. associated to Ha...
متن کاملAn Effective Algorithm for the Cohomology Ring of Symplectic Reductions
Let G be a compact torus acting on a compact symplectic manifold M in a Hamiltonian fashion, and T a subtorus of G. We prove that the kernel of κ : H∗ G (M) → H∗(M//G) is generated by a small number of classes α ∈ H∗ G (M) satisfying very explicit restriction properties. Our main tool is the equivariant Kirwan map, a natural map from the G-equivariant cohomology of M to the G/T -equivariant coh...
متن کاملEquivariant Integration formulæ in HyperKähler Geometry
Lisa Jeffrey and Frances Kirwan developed an integration theory for symplectic reductions. That is, given a symplectic manifold with symplectic group action, they developed a way of pulling the integration of forms on the reduction back to an integration of group-equivariant forms on the original space. We seek an analogue of the symplectic integration formula as developed by for the hyperKähle...
متن کاملQuantum Kirwan Morphism and Gromov-witten Invariants of Quotients Ii
This is the second in a sequence of papers in which we construct a quantum version of the Kirwan map from the equivariant quantum cohomology QHG(X) of a smooth polarized complex projective variety X with the action of a connected complex reductive group G to the orbifold quantum cohomology QH(X//G) of its geometric invariant theory quotient X//G, and prove that it intertwines the genus zero gau...
