We show that for a Hamiltonian action of a compact torus $G$ on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$, the $G$-equivariant cohomology is determined by the residual $S^1$ action on the submanifolds of $M$ fixed by codimension-1 tori.…

We develop an analytic framework for Lefschetz fixed point theory and Morse theory for Hilbert complexes on stratified pseudomanifolds. We develop formulas for both global and local Lefschetz numbers and Morse, Poincar\'e polynomials as…

Let a finite abelian group $G$ act (linearly) on the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ and thus on its complexification $\mathbb{C}^n$. Let $W$ be the real part of the quotient $\mathbb{C}^n/G$ (in general $W \neq \mathbb{R}^n/G$). We give an algebraic…

We consider a manifold X obtained by a Kahler reduction of C^n, and we define its hyperkahler analogue M as a hyperkahler reduction of T^*C^n = H^n by the same group. In the case where the group is abelian and X is a smooth toric variety, M…

Let $S^1$ act on a symplectic manifold in a Hamiltonian fashion with momentum map $\Psi$. Fix a value $a$ of $\Psi$. There is a question of whether the symplectic quotient at $a$ is diffeomorphic to the orbit space of some proper Lie group…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively…

We prove a formula for the geometric genus of splice-quotient singularities (in the sense of Neumann and Wahl). This formula enables us to compute the invariant from the resolution graph; in fact, it reduces the computation to that for…
