On the moment map on symplectic manifolds

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We consider a connected symplectic manifold MM acted on by a connected Lie group GG in a Hamiltonian fashion. If GG is compact, we prove give an Equivalence Theorem for the symplectic manifolds whose squared moment map μ2\parallel \mu \parallel^2 is constant. This result works also in the almost-K\"ahler setting. Then we study the case when GG is a non compact Lie group acting properly on MM and we prove a splitting results for symplectic manifolds.

Comments

v.1: 8 pages. v.2, 9 pages: Theorem 1.1 is corrected and improved. Proposition 1.2 (v.1) becomes Theorem 1.2 and it is improved. Proposition 1.3 completely revisited, due a crucial error in the proof. Finally, Corollary 1.4 did not appear in v.1. v.3 some mistakes are corrected
