ISBN: 9783764337704
Category : Convex polytopes
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
The action of a compact Lie group, G, on a compact sympletic manifold gives rise to some remarkable combinatorial invariants. The simplest and most interesting of these is the moment polytopes, a convex polyhedron which sits inside the dual of the Lie algebra of G. One of the main goals of this monograph is to describe what kinds of geometric information are encoded in this polytope. This book is addressed to researchers and can be used as a semester text.

Fusion Product of D/G-valued Moment Maps
Author: Selim Tawfik
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A fusion product is defined for Hamiltonian spaces with moment maps valued in a Lie group D generalizing those of Alekseev-Malkin-Meinrenken. An analogous theory for these general Hamiltonian spaces is developed and, among other results, versions of symplectic reduction, duality and the shifting trick are derived. The Hamiltonian spaces with moment maps valued in a homogeneous space D/G of Alekseev-Kosmann-Schwarzbach are shown to be equivalent to certain Hamiltonian spaces with group-valued moment maps. The aforementioned theory is consequently brought to bear on that of D/G-valued moment maps, thereby defining a fusion product for these. This fusion product affords many new examples of D/G-valued moment maps, of which there was hitherto a paucity. Among said examples are moduli spaces of flat principal bundles over certain surfaces with boundary.

Toric Topology
Author: Megumi Harada
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821844865
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Toric topology is the study of algebraic, differential, symplectic-geometric, combinatorial, and homotopy-theoretic aspects of a particular class of torus actions whose quotients are highly structured. The combinatorial properties of this quotient and the equivariant topology of the original manifold interact in a rich variety of ways, thus illuminating subtle aspects of both the combinatorics and the equivariant topology. Many of the motivations and guiding principles of the fieldare provided by (though not limited to) the theory of toric varieties in algebraic geometry as well as that of symplectic toric manifolds in symplectic geometry.This volume is the proceedings of the International Conference on Toric Topology held in Osaka in May-June 2006. It contains about 25 research and survey articles written by conference speakers, covering many different aspects of, and approaches to, torus actions, such as those mentioned above. Some of the manuscripts are survey articles, intended to give a broad overview of an aspect of the subject; all manuscripts consciously aim to be accessible to a broad reading audience of students andresearchers interested in the interaction of the subjects involved. We hope that this volume serves as an enticing invitation to this emerging field.

Lectures on Symplectic Geometry
Author: Ana Cannas da Silva
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 354045330X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The goal of these notes is to provide a fast introduction to symplectic geometry for graduate students with some knowledge of differential geometry, de Rham theory and classical Lie groups. This text addresses symplectomorphisms, local forms, contact manifolds, compatible almost complex structures, Kaehler manifolds, hamiltonian mechanics, moment maps, symplectic reduction and symplectic toric manifolds. It contains guided problems, called homework, designed to complement the exposition or extend the reader's understanding. There are by now excellent references on symplectic geometry, a subset of which is in the bibliography of this book. However, the most efficient introduction to a subject is often a short elementary treatment, and these notes attempt to serve that purpose. This text provides a taste of areas of current research and will prepare the reader to explore recent papers and extensive books on symplectic geometry where the pace is much faster. For this reprint numerous corrections and clarifications have been made, and the layout has been improved.
