Localization for nonabelian group actions
Abstract
Suppose is a compact symplectic manifold acted on by a compact Lie group (which may be nonabelian) in a Hamiltonian fashion, with moment map and Marsden-Weinstein reduction . There is then a natural surjective map from the equivariant cohomology of to the cohomology . In this paper we prove a formula (Theorem 8.1, the residue formula) for the evaluation on the fundamental class of of any whose degree is the dimension of , provided that is a regular value of the moment map on . This formula is given in terms of any class for which , and involves the restriction of to -orbits of components of the fixed point set of a chosen maximal torus . Since is
