Hamiltonian torus actions and the unimodality of odd Betti numbers

Symplectic Geometry 2025-07-29 v1

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the question: Is the sequence of odd and even Betti numbers of a closed symplectic manifold with a non-trivial Hamiltonian torus action unimodal? Recently, there was some progress on the question for the sequence of even Betti numbers by Cho-Kim and the author. The results of this paper give positive evidence in the case of odd Betti numbers, in dimensions 6,86,8 and 1010 under progressively stronger symmetry assumptions.
