We introduce the notion of a weak (homotopy) moment map associated to a Lie group action on a multisymplectic manifold. We show that the existence/uniqueness theory governing these maps is a direct generalization from symplectic geometry.…
We compare existence and equivariance phenomena for weak moment maps and homotopy moment maps in multisymplectic geometry.
Given a multisymplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ and a Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ acting on it by infinitesimal symmetries, Fregier-Rogers-Zambon define a homotopy (co-)moment as an $L_{\infty}$-algebra-homomorphism from $\frak{g}$ to the…
Consider a closed non-degenerate 3-form $\omega$ with an infinitesimal action of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Motivated by the fact that the observables associated to $\omega$ form a Lie 2-algebra, we introduce homotopy moment maps defined…
This Master Thesis is devoted to the study of $n$-plectic manifolds and the Strongly Homotopy Lie algebras, also called $L_{\infty}$-algebras, that can be associated to them. Since multisymplectic geometry and $L_{\infty}$-algebras are…
Given a Lie group acting on a manifold $M$ preserving a closed $n+1$-form $\omega$, the notion of homotopy moment map for this action was introduced in Callies-Fregier-Rogers-Zambon [6], in terms of $L_{\infty}$-algebra morphisms. In this…
Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…
We extend Noether's theorem to the setting of multisymplectic geometry by exhibiting a correspondence between conserved quantities and continuous symmetries on a multi-Hamiltonian system. We show that a homotopy co-momentum map interacts…
We introduce a notion of moment map adapted to actions of Lie groups that preserve a closed three-form. We show existence of our multi-moment maps in many circumstances, including mild topological assumptions on the underlying manifold.…
A generalized moment map is proposed for arbitrary symplectic actions of compact connected Lie groups on closed symplectic manifolds, in the spirit of the circle -valued maps introduced by D. McDuff in the case of non-Hamiltonian circle…
Given a complex balanced manifold $X$ and a compact complex manifold $S$ equipped with a positive volume form $dV>0$ and satisfying an extra condition such that $\mbox{dim}\,S\geq\mbox{dim}\,X -1$, we construct a moment map for the action…
We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on by a connected Lie group $G$ in a Hamiltonian fashion. If $G$ is compact, we prove give an Equivalence Theorem for the symplectic manifolds whose squared moment map $\parallel \mu…
This document is a reorganization of the results on the Master Thesis of the same title written by the author under the supervision of Dr. Christian Blohmann at the University of Bonn in 2014. There are three main results in this document.…
We obtain a correspondence between the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a 4-dimensional real torus and the vanishing locus of a certain hyperK\"ahler moment map. This observation gives rise to a new flow, called the modified moment…
Homotopy comomentum maps are a higher generalization of the notion of moment map introduced to extend the concept of Hamiltonian actions to the framework of multisymplectic geometry. Loosely speaking, higher means passing from considering…
We generalize the concept of global moment maps to local moment maps, whose different branches are labelled by the elements of the fundamental group of the underlying symplectic manifold. These branches can be smoothly glued together by…
Due to the emergence of symplectic geometry, the geometric treatment of mechanics underwent a great development during the last century. In this scenario the pressence of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems leads naturally to the existence of…
We extend the notion of multi-moment map to geometries defined by closed forms of arbitrary degree. We give fundamental existence and uniqueness results and discuss a number of essential examples, including geometries related to special…
Multisymplectic geometry admits an operation that has no counterpart in symplectic geometry, namely, taking the product of two multisymplectic manifolds endowed with the wedge product of the multisymplectic forms. We show that there is an…
We show that the action of spacetime vector fields on the variational bicomplex of general relativity has a homotopy momentum map that extends the map from vector fields to conserved currents given by Noether's first theorem to a morphism…
