Abstract

Let (M,ψ)(M,\psi) be a (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional oriented closed manifold equipped with a pseudo-free S1S^1-action ψ:S1×MM\psi : S^1 \times M \rightarrow M. We first define a \textit{local data} L(M,ψ)\mathcal{L}(M,\psi) of the action ψ\psi which consists of pairs (C,(p(C);q(C)))(C, (p(C) ; \overrightarrow{q}(C))) where CC is an exceptional orbit, p(C)p(C) is the order of isotropy subgroup of CC, and q(C)(Zp(C)×)n\overrightarrow{q}(C) \in (\mathbb{Z}_{p(C)}^{\times})^n is a vector whose entries are the weights of the slice representation of CC. In this paper, we give an explicit formula of the Chern number c1(E)n,[M/S1]\langle c_1(E)^n, [M/S^1] \rangle modulo Z\mathbb{Z} in terms of the local data, where E=M×S1CE = M \times_{S^1} \mathbb{C} is the associated complex line orbibundle over M/S1M/S^1. Also, we illustrate several applications to various problems arising in equivariant symplectic topology.
