Abstract

The main contribution of this manuscript is a local normal form for Hamiltonian actions of Poisson-Lie groups KK on a symplectic manifold equipped with an ANAN-valued moment map, where ANAN is the dual Poisson-Lie group of KK. Our proof uses the delinearization theorem of Alekseev which relates a classical Hamiltonian action of KK with k\mathfrak{k}^*-valued moment map to a Hamiltonian action with an ANAN-valued moment map, via a deformation of symplectic structures. We obtain our main result by proving a ``delinearization commutes with symplectic quotients'' theorem which is also of independent interest, and then putting this together with the local normal form theorem for classical Hamiltonian actions wtih k\mathfrak{k}^*-valued moment maps. A key ingredient for our main result is the delinearization D(ωcan)\mathcal{D}(\omega_{can}) of the canonical symplectic structure on TKT^*K, so we additionally take some steps toward explicit computations of D(ωcan)\mathcal{D}(\omega_{can}). In particular, in the case K=SU(2)K=SU(2), we obtain explicit formulas for the matrix coefficients of D(ωcan)\mathcal{D}(\omega_{can}) with respect to a natural choice of coordinates on TSU(2)T^*SU(2).
