We prove using jet schemes that the zero loci of the moment maps for the quivers with one vertex and at least two loops have rational singularities. This implies that the spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a compact…

Let $K$ be a simply connected compact Lie group and $T^{\ast}(K)$ its cotangent bundle. We consider the problem of "quantization commutes with reduction" for the adjoint action of $K$ on $T^{\ast}(K).$ We quantize both $T^{\ast}(K)$ and the…

The main result of this paper is a ``real form'' of Kirwan's convexity theorem, which in the abelian case was proved earlier by Duistermaat. We apply our result to flag varieties of real semisimple groups and obtain eigenvalue inequalities,…

In the Hamiltonian approach on a single spatial plaquette, we construct a quantum (lattice) gauge theory which incorporates the classical singularities. The reduced phase space is a stratified K\"ahler space, and we make explicit the…

Introducing a moment map whose zero locus is the group of symplectomorphisms of the real four-dimensional torus, we exhibit a gradient flow that can be made into a strictly parabolic flow by mean of a DeTurck trick (famously known for its…

This paper reviews the moment graph technique that allows to translate certain representation theoretic problems into geometric ones. For simplicity we restrict ourselves to the case of semisimple complex Lie algebras. In particular, we…

Let $K$ be a compact connected Lie group acting unitarily on a finite-dimensional complex vector space $V$. One calls this a {\em multiplicity-free} action whenever the $K$-isotypic components of $\C[V]$ are $K$-irreducible. We have shown…

This paper develops the pre-quantization of Lie group-valued moment maps, and establishes its equivalence with the pre-quantization of infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian loop group spaces.

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…

This work addresses certain ambiguities in the Dirac approach to constrained systems. Specifically, we investigate the space of so-called ``rigging maps'' associated with Refined Algebraic Quantization, a particular realization of the Dirac…

In this paper we prove that a quiver scheme in characteristic zero is reduced if the moment map is flat. We use the reducedness result to show that the equivariant integration formula computes the K-theoretic Nekrasov partition function of…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study HKKN stratifications, both algebraically and analytically, for a Cartesian product between a vector space and a compact K{\"a}hler manifold. We then use these stratifications to prove…

The convexity theorem of Atiyah and Guillemin-Sternberg says that any connected compact manifold with Hamiltonian torus action has a moment map whose image is the convex hull of the image of the fixed point set. Sjamaar-Lerman proved that…

We prove that the norm-square of a moment map associated to a linear action of a compact group on an affine variety satisfies a certain gradient inequality. This allows us to bound the gradient flow, even if we do not assume that the moment…

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…

The aim of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive introduction to some algebraic and geometric aspects of real representations of compact Lie groups, as well as some results concerning isotropy strata and restriction of invariants.

We study quantum moment maps of $G$-invariant star products, which are a quantum analogue of the moment map for classical Hamiltonian systems. Introducing an integral representation, we show that any quantum moment map for a $G$-invariant…

Atiyah's formulation of what is nowadays called the convexity theorem of Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternberg has two parts: (a) the image of the moment map arising from a Hamiltonian action of a torus on a symplectic manifold is a convex polytope,…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a conformal symplectic manifold. We prove a convexity theorem for the moment map under the assumption that the action is of Lee type, which establishes an analog of Kirwan's…

We study stratifications of regions in the space of symmetric matrices. Their points are Mandelstam matrices for momentum vectors in particle physics. Kinematic strata in these regions are indexed by signs and rank two matroids. Matroid…
