Abstract

Let (M,ω)(M, \omega) be a 6-dimensional closed symplectic manifold with a symplectic S1S^1-action with MS1M^{S^1} \neq \emptyset and dimMS12\dim M^{S^1} \leq 2. Assume that ω\omega is integral with a generalized moment map μ\mu. We first prove that the action is Hamiltonian if and only if b_2^+(M_{\red})=1, where M_{\red} is any reduced space with respect to μ\mu. It means that if the action is non-Hamiltonian, then b_2^+(M_{\red}) \geq 2. Secondly, we focus on the case when the action is semifree and Hamiltonian. We prove that if MS1M^{S^1} consists of surfaces, then the number kk of fixed surfaces with positive genera is at most four. In particular, if the extremal fixed surfaces are spheres, then kk is at most one. Finally, we prove that k2k \neq 2 and we construct some examples of 6-dimensional semifree Hamiltonian S1S^1-manifolds such that MS1M^{S^1} contains kk surfaces of positive genera for k=0k = 0 and 4. Examples with k=1k=1 and 3 were given in \cite{L2}.
