We give a simple direct proof (for the case of Hamiltonian circle actions with isolated fixed points) that Tolman and Weitsman's description of the kernel of the Kirwan map (in other words the sum of those equivariant cohomology classes…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group K on a compact symplectic manifold. We find descriptions of the kernel of the Kirwan map corresponding to a regular value of the moment map $\kappa_K$. We start with the case when K is a…

Let G be a compact torus acting on a compact symplectic manifold M in a Hamiltonian fashion, and T a subtorus of G. We prove that the kernel of $\kappa:H_G^*(M)\to H^*(M//G)$ is generated by a small number of classes $\alpha\in H_G^*(M)$…

Let $T$ be a compact torus and $(M,\omega)$ a Hamiltonian $T$-space. We give a new proof of the $K$-theoretic analogue of the Kirwan surjectivity theorem in symplectic geometry by using the equivariant version of the Kirwan map introduced…

In this article we are concerned with how to compute the cohomology ring of a symplectic quotient by a circle action using the information we have about the cohomology of the original manifold and some data at the fixed point set of the…

We prove an analogue of Kirwan surjectivity in the setting of equivariant basic cohomology of K-contact manifolds. If the Reeb vector field induces a free $S^1$-action, the $S^1$-quotient is a symplectic manifold and our result reproduces…

A polynomial assignment for a continuous action of a compact torus $T$ on a topological space $X$ assigns to each $p\in X$ a polynomial function on the Lie algebra of the isotropy group at $p$ in such a way that a certain compatibility…

Consider the holomorphic Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group $K$ on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ with a moment map $\Phi: M\rightarrow \mathfrak{k}^*$. Assume that $0$ is a regular value of the moment map. Weitsman raised the…

Let G be a compact Lie group and LG its associated loop group. The main result of this manuscript is a surjectivity theorem from the equivariant K-theory of a Hamiltonian LG-space onto the integral K-theory of its Hamiltonian LG-quotient.…

We construct an equivariant extension of the quantum Kirwan map and show that it intertwines the classical Steenrod operation on the cohomology of a classifying space with the quantum Steenrod operation of a monotone symplectic reduction.…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$. Let $F$ denote the fixed point set of the $T$-action and let $i:F\hookrightarrow M$ denote the inclusion. By a theorem of F. Kirwan \cite{K} the induced map…

In this thesis we study the topology and geometry of hyperk\"ahler quotients, as well as some related non-compact K\"ahler quotients, from the point of view of Hamiltonian group actions. The main technical tool we employ is Morse theory…

In this paper, we study Hamiltonian R-actions on symplectic orbifolds [M/S], where R and S are tori. We prove an injectivity theorem and generalize Tolman-Weitsman's proof of the GKM theorem in this setting. The main example is the…

Given a compact symplectic manifold M with the Hamiltonian action of a torus T, let zero be a regular value of the moment map, and M_0 the symplectic reduction at zero. Denote by \kappa_0 the Kirwan map H^*_T(M)-> H^*(M_0). For an…

The main result of this paper is the description of asymptotics along rays in weight space of traces of equivariant Toeplitz operators composed with quantomorphisms for torus actions. The main ingredient in the proof is the microlocal…

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a compact twisted generalized complex manifold $M$. We first observe that Kirwan injectivity and surjectivity hold for ordinary equivariant cohomology in this setting. Then we prove that these…

We generalize the Jeffrey-Kirwan localization theorem for non-compact symplectic and hyperKahler quotients. Similarly to the circle compact integration of Hausel and Proudfoot we define equivariant integrals on non-compact manifolds using…

We consider the Hilbert scheme of points in the affine complex plane. We find explicit formulas for the Nakajima's creation operators and their K-theoretic counterparts in terms of the Kirwan map. We obtain a description of the action of…

We announce the following result and give several applications: A Hamiltonian $T$-space (for $T$ a torus) with isolated fixed points is cobordant to a disjoint union of weighted projective spaces which are constructed from its fixed point…

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a transversely symplectic foliation that is also Riemannian. When the transverse hard Lefschetz property is satisfied, we establish a foliated version of the Kirwan injectivity theorem, and use…
