In this expository note, we give a self-contained introduction to some modern incarnations of Hamiltonian reduction. Particular emphasis is placed on applications to symplectic geometry and geometric representation theory. We thereby…
We propose magnetic quivers for the complex-symplectic contraction spaces, which are related to implosions and have a natural interpretation in terms of the Moore-Tachikawa category. We use 3-d mirrors to provide computational checks.
The geometry of the universal hyperKaehler implosion for SU(n) is explored. In particular, we show that the universal hyperKaehler implosion naturally contains a hypertoric variety described in terms of quivers. Furthermore, we discuss a…
We introduce the process of symplectic reduction along a submanifold as a uniform approach to taking quotients in symplectic geometry. This construction holds in the categories of smooth manifolds, complex analytic spaces, and complex…
We discuss symplectic and hyperk\"ahler implosion and present candidates for the symplectic duals of the universal hyperk\"ahler implosion for various groups.
The symplectic implosion construction of Guillemin, Jeffrey and Sjamaar associates to a Hamiltonian action of a compact group K on a symplectic manifold X its 'imploded cross section'. When X is a complex projective variety and K acts…
The generalized hypercomplex structures defined within the framework of generalized geometry include hypercomplex and holomorphic symplectic structures as particular cases. They have a $S^2$-family of generalized complex structures, and in…
We use shifted symplectic geometry to construct the Moore-Tachikawa topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) in a category of Hamiltonian schemes. Our new and overarching insight is an algebraic explanation for the existence of these…
Exploiting the affinity between stable generalized complex structures and symplectic structures, we explain how certain constructions coming from symplectic geometry can be performed in the generalized complex setting. We introduce…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we extend the notion of symplectic implosion to the category of quasi-Hamiltonian $K$-manifolds, where $K$ is a simply connected compact Lie group. The imploded cross-section of the double…
Moore-Tachikawa varieties are certain Hamiltonian holomorphic symplectic varieties conjectured in the context of $2$-dimensional topological quantum field theories. We discuss several constructions related to these varieties.
The notion of a symplectic expansion directly relates the topology of a surface to formal symplectic geometry. We give a method to construct a symplectic expansion by solving a recurrence formula given in terms of the…
We present general reduction procedures for Courant, Dirac and generalized complex structures, in particular when a group of symmetries is acting. We do so by taking the graded symplectic viewpoint on Courant algebroids and carrying out…
A method of constructing a class of bihamiltonian structures is presented. Elements of this class are generalizations of the so-called bihamiltonian structures of general position on odd-dimensional manifolds. The method consists in a…
Let $K$ be a compact Lie group. We introduce the process of symplectic implosion, which associates to every Hamiltonian $K$-manifold a stratified space called the imploded cross-section. It bears a resemblance to symplectic reduction, but…
We present a theory of reduction for Courant algebroids as well as Dirac structures, generalized complex, and generalized K\"ahler structures which interpolates between holomorphic reduction of complex manifolds and symplectic reduction.…
In the spirit of recent work of Harada-Kaveh and Nishinou-Nohara-Ueda, we study the symplectic geometry of Popov's horospherical degenerations of complex algebraic varieties with the action of a complex linearly reductive group. We…
We define the notion of a moment map and reduction in both generalized complex geometry and generalized K\"{a}hler geometry. As an application, we give very simple explicit constructions of bi-Hermitian structures on $\C\P^n$, Hirzebruch…
We review the quiver descriptions of symplectic and hyperk\"ahler implosion in the case of SU(n) actions. We give quiver descriptions of symplectic implosion for other classical groups, and discuss some of the issues involved in obtaining a…
We derive constraints on Lagrangian embeddings in completions of certain stable symplectic fillings with semisimple symplectic cohomologies. Manifolds with these properties can be constructed by generalizing the boundary connected sum…
