Convexity Properties of the Moment Mapping Re-examined

Abstract: Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a compact symplectic manifold. A theorem of Kirwan's says that the image of the momentum mapping intersects the positive Weyl chamber in a convex polytope. I present a new proof of Kirwan's theorem, which gives explicit information on how the vertices of the polytope come about and on how the shape of the polytope near any point can be read off from infinitesimal data on the manifold. It also applies to some interesting classes of noncompact or singular H… Show more

“…Sjamaar [35] has given another proof of the convexity theorems, based on ideas coming from Kähler and algebraic geometry. His proof, even though it gives the most complete information on these polytopes, uses strongly the symplectic form and it is not known how to generalize his technique to other manifolds and other types of actions, such as Poisson actions of Poisson-Lie groups.…”
