Abstract

Given a compact symplectic toric manifold (M,ω,T)(M,\omega, \mathbb{T}), we identify a class DGKωT(M)DGK_{\omega}^{\mathbb{T}}(M) of T\mathbb{T}-invariant generalized K\"ahler structures for which a generalisation the Abreu-Guillemin theory of toric K\"ahler metrics holds. Specifically, elements of DGKωT(M)DGK_{\omega}^{\mathbb{T}}(M) are characterized by the data of a strictly convex function τ\tau on the moment polytope associated to (M,ω,T)(M,\omega, \mathbb{T}) via the Delzant theorem, and an antisymmetric matrix CC. For a given CC, it is shown that a toric K\"ahler structure on MM can be explicitly deformed to a non-K\"ahler element of DGKωT(M)DGK_{\omega}^{\mathbb{T}}(M) by adding a small multiple of CC. This constitutes an explicit realization of a recent unobstructedness theorem of R. Goto, where the choice of a matrix CC corresponds to choosing a holomorphic Poisson structure. Adapting methods from S. K. Donaldson, we compute the moment map for the action of Ham(M,ω)\mathrm{Ham}(M,\omega) on DGKωT(M)DGK_{\omega}^{\mathbb{T}}(M). The result introduces a natural notion of "generalized Hermitian scalar curvature". In dimension 4, we find an expression for this generalized Hermitian scalar curvature in terms of the underlying bi-Hermitian structure in the sense of Apostolov-Gauduchon-Grantcharov.
