For a compact, connected, simply-connected Lie group G, the loop group LG is the infinite-dimensional Hilbert Lie group consisting of H^1-Sobolev maps S^1-->G. The geometry of LG and its homogeneous spaces is related to representation…

In this paper, we consider generalized moment maps for Hamiltonian actions on $H$-twisted generalized complex manifolds introduced by Lin and Tolman \cite{Lin}. The main purpose of this paper is to show convexity and connectedness…

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…

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 generalize the Atiyah problem on configurations and the related Atiyah--Sutcliffe conjectures 1 and 2 using finite graphs, configurations of points and tensors. Our conjectures are intriguing geometric inequalities, defined using the…

We define a moment map associated to a smooth torus action on a smooth manifold, without a two-form. We define cobordisms of such structures, allowing non compact manifolds as long as the moment maps are proper. We prove that a compact…

A theorem of Tietze and Nakamija, from 1928, asserts that if a subset X of R^n is closed, connected, and locally convex, then it is convex. We give an analogous "local to global convexity" theorem when the inclusion map of X to R^n is…

Atiyah proved that the moment map image of the closure of an orbit of a complex torus action is convex. Brion generalized this result to actions of a complex reductive group. We extend their results to actions of a maximal solvable…

We prove a convexity theorem for the image of the moment map of a Hamiltonian torus action on a $b^m$-symplectic manifold.

In this note, we state and give the main ideas of the proof of a real convexity theorem for group-valued momentum maps. This result is a quasi-Hamiltonian analogue of the O'Shea-Sjamaar theorem in the usual Hamiltonian setting. We prove…

The Peterson isomorphism relates the homology of the affine Grassmannian to the quantum cohomology of any flag variety. In the case of a partial flag, Peterson's map is only a surjection, and one needs to quotient by a suitable ideal on the…

We state a precise conjectural isomorphism between localizations of the equivariant quantum K-theory ring of a flag variety and the equivariant K-homology ring of the affine Grassmannian, in particular relating their Schubert bases and…

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.…

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…

In this paper, we show the convexity of the image of a moment map on a transverse symplectic manifold equipped with a torus action under a certain condition. We also study properties of moment maps in the case of transverse K\"ahler…

The purpose of this paper is finding the essential attributes underlying the convexity theorems for momentum maps. It is shown that they are of topological nature; more specifically, we show that convexity follows if the map is open onto…

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 $\alpha\in H_G^*(M)$…

To any $V$ in the Grassmannian ${\rm Gr}_k({\mathbb R}^n)$ of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces in ${\mathbb R}^n$ one can associate the diagonal entries of the ($n\times n$) matrix corresponding to the orthogonal projection of ${\mathbb…

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…
