An intertwining relation for equivariant Seidel maps

Abstract

The Seidel maps are two maps associated to a Hamiltonian circle action on a convex symplectic manifold, one on Floer cohomology and one on quantum cohomology. We extend their definitions to S1S^1-equivariant Floer cohomology and S1S^1-equivariant quantum cohomology based on a construction of Maulik and Okounkov. The S1S^1-action used to construct S1S^1-equivariant Floer cohomology changes after applying the equivariant Seidel map (a similar phenomenon occurs for S1S^1-equivariant quantum cohomology). We show the equivariant Seidel map on S1S^1-equivariant quantum cohomology does not commute with the S1S^1-equivariant quantum product, unlike the standard Seidel map. We prove an intertwining relation which completely describes the failure of this commutativity as a weighted version of the equivariant Seidel map. We will explore how this intertwining relationship may be interpreted using connections in an upcoming paper. We compute the equivariant Seidel map for rotation actions on the complex plane and on complex projective space, and for the action which rotates the fibres of the tautological line bundle over projective space. Through these examples, we demonstrate how equivariant Seidel maps may be used to compute the S1S^1-equivariant quantum product and S1S^1-equivariant symplectic cohomology.
