Spinor modules for Hamiltonian loop group spaces

Abstract

Let LGLG be the loop group of a compact, connected Lie group GG. We show that the tangent bundle of any proper Hamiltonian LGLG-space M\mathcal{M} has a natural completion TM\overline{T}\mathcal{M} to a strongly symplectic LGLG-equivariant vector bundle. This bundle admits an invariant compatible complex structure within a natural polarization class, defining an LGLG-equivariant spinor bundle STM\mathsf{S}_{\overline{T}\mathcal{M}}, which one may regard as the Spinc_c-structure of M\mathcal{M}. We describe two procedures for obtaining a finite-dimensional version of this spinor module. In one approach, we construct from STM\mathsf{S}_{\overline{T}\mathcal{M}} a twisted Spinc_c-structure for the quasi-Hamiltonian GG-space associated to M\mathcal{M}. In the second approach, we describe an `abelianization procedure', passing to a finite-dimensional TLGT\subset LG-invariant submanifold of M\mathcal{M}, and we show how to construct an equivariant Spinc_c-structure on that submanifold.
