Deform quantization recovers scalar curvature in complex structures.

Deform moment map on symplectic connections using star product algebras.

Deformation quantization yields a new moment map on symplectic diffeomorphisms.

We explain how the formal aspects of the theory of Kahler-Einstein metrics can be developed in the framework of moment maps. The central result we use is the Berndtsson convexity theorem, which is interpreted as defining a metric on the space of complex structures. We discuss some applications of these ideas to the Kah…

Develops scalar curvature in generalized Kahler geometry and shows constant scalar curvature on compact Lie groups.

In this short note we prove an equivariant version of the formality of multidiffirential operators for a proper Lie group action. More precisely, we show that the equivariant Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg quasi-isomorphism between the cohomology of the equivariant multidifferential operators and the complex of equivaria…

Quantizes functions on Kähler manifolds without formal deformation.

This note is concerned with accurate and computationally efficient approximations of moments of Gaussian random variables passed through sigmoid or softmax mappings. These approximations are semi-analytical (i.e. they involve the numerical adjustment of parametric forms) and highly accurate (they yield 5% error at most…

Constructs a moment map flow for isotropic maps on surfaces.

Study compares weak and homotopy moment maps in multisymplectic geometry.

Derives scalar curvature formula in generalized Kähler geometry.

Obstructions found for closed Fedosov star products on symplectic and Kähler manifolds.

Introduces generalized moment maps for almost Hermitian settings.

The paper classifies quantizable functions and explores symmetry in quantization methods.

We prove an analogue of Kirwan surjectivity in the setting of equivariant basic cohomology of K-contact manifolds. If the Reeb vector field induces a free $S^1$-action, the $S^1$-quotient is a symplectic manifold and our result reproduces Kirwan's surjectivity for these symplectic manifolds. We further prove a Tolman-W…

Extends moment map concept to locally conformally Kähler manifolds.

Investigates properties of moment maps and stratifications on Lie groups.

moment maps arise as a generalization of genuine moment maps on symplectic manifolds when the symplectic structure is discarded, but the relation between the mapping and the action is kept. Particular examples of abstract moment maps had been used in Hamiltonian mechanics for some time, but the abstract notion originat…

We investigate the equivariant cohomology of the natural torus action on a K-contact manifold and its relation to the topology of the Reeb flow. Using the contact moment map, we show that the equivariant cohomology of this action is Cohen-Macaulay, which is a generalization of equivariant formality for torus actions wi…

The paper trivializes moment maps for various geometric structures.

Conditions for pre-quantizability of G-invariant forms are derived using moment maps.

The paper connects moment maps to the stability of holomorphic fibrations.

We study quantum moment maps of $G$-invariant star products, which are a quantum analogue of the moment map for classical Hamiltonian systems. Introducing an integral representation, we show that any quantum moment map for a $G$-invariant star product is differentiable. This property gives us a new method for the class…

New constructions and examples from moduli spaces.

Given a multisymplectic manifold $(M,ω)$ and a Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ acting on it by infinitesimal symmetries, Fregier-Rogers-Zambon define a homotopy (co-)moment as an $L_{\infty}$-algebra-homomorphism from $\frak{g}$ to the observable algebra $L(M,ω)$ associated to $(M,ω)$, in analogy with and generalizing the notio…

We study generalized moment maps for a Hamiltonian action on a connected compact $H$-twisted generalized complex manifold introduced by Lin and Tolman and prove the convexity and connectedness properties of the generalized moment maps for a Hamiltonian torus action.

Develops moment map theory for twisted scalar curvature in Kähler geometry.

New flow connects symplectic maps to hyperKähler geometry.

We describe the multi-moment map associated to an almost Hermitian manifold which admits an action of a torus by holomorphic isometries. We investigate in particular the case of a $\mathbb T^3$ action on the homogeneous nearly Kähler $S^3\times S^3$. We find that the multi-moment map in this case acts more-or-less sim…

Geometric approach to moment maps in complex geometry.

In this paper, we consider generalized moment maps for Hamiltonian actions on $H$-twisted generalized complex manifolds introduced by Lin and Tolman \cite{Lin}. The main purpose of this paper is to show convexity and connectedness properties for generalized moment maps. We study Hamiltonian torus actions on compact $H$…

Study moment maps coupled with convex functions to find critical points.

Given a Lie group acting on a manifold $M$ preserving a closed $n+1$-form $ω$, the notion of homotopy moment map for this action was introduced in Callies-Fregier-Rogers-Zambon [6], in terms of $L_{\infty}$-algebra morphisms. In this note we describe homotopy moment maps as coboundaries of a certain complex. This descr…

We study Hamiltonian spaces associated with pairs (E,A), where E is a Courant algebroid and A\subset E is a Dirac structure. These spaces are defined in terms of morphisms of Courant algebroids with suitable compatibility conditions. Several of their properties are discussed, including a reduction procedure. This set-u…

We introduce a notion of moment map adapted to actions of Lie groups that preserve a closed three-form. We show existence of our multi-moment maps in many circumstances, including mild topological assumptions on the underlying manifold. Such maps are also shown to exist for all groups whose second and third Lie algebra…

We define a moment map associated to a smooth torus action on a smooth manifold, without a two-form. We define cobordisms of such structures, allowing non compact manifolds as long as the moment maps are proper. We prove that a compact manifold with a torus action and a moment map is cobordant to the disjoint union of …

We present a proof due to Duistermaat that the gradient flow of the norm squared of the moment map defines a deformation retract of the appropriate piece of the manifold onto the zero level set of the moment map. Duistermaat's proof is an adaptation of Lojasiewicz's argument for analytic functions to functions which ar…

We discuss various aspects of moment map geometry in symplectic and hyperKähler geometry. In particular, we classify complete hyperKähler manifolds of dimension $4n$ with a tri-Hamiltonian action of a torus of dimension $n$, without any assumption on the finiteness of the Betti numbers. As a result we find that the hyp…

Study global geometry of toric nearly Kähler manifolds using multi-moment maps.

Constructs a moment map for maps to balanced manifolds.

We establish a geometric quantization formula for a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group acting on a noncompact symplectic manifold with proper moment map.

The paper generalizes the moment map interpretation of scalar curvature in Kähler geometry.

Consider a closed non-degenerate 3-form $ω$ with an infinitesimal action of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Motivated by the fact that the observables associated to $ω$ form a Lie 2-algebra, we introduce homotopy moment maps defined on a Lie 2-algebra rather than just on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We formulate exist…

The paper generalizes a moment map interpretation of scalar curvature in Kähler geometry.

The space of symplectic connections on a symplectic manifold is a symplectic affine space. M. Cahen and S. Gutt showed that the action of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on this space is Hamiltonian and calculated the moment map. This is analogous to, but distinct from, the action of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism…

New real algebraic maps with prescribed images and compositions are constructed locally like moment maps.

For geometries with a closed three-form we briefly overview the notion of multi-moment maps. We then give concrete examples of multi-moment maps for homogeneous hypercomplex and nearly Kaehler manifolds. A special role in the theory is played by Lie algebras with second and third Betti numbers equal to zero. These we c…
