The biinvariant diagonal class for Hamiltonian torus actions
Abstract
Suppose that an algebraic torus acts algebraically on a projective manifold with generically trivial stabilizers. Then the Zariski closure of the set of pairs defines a nonzero equivariant cohomology class . We give an analogue of this construction in the case where is a compact symplectic manifold endowed with a hamiltonian action of a torus, whose complexification plays the role of . We also prove that the Kirwan map sends the class to the class of the diagonal in each symplectic quotient. This allows to define a canonical right inverse of the Kirwan map.
