Integrals of equivariant forms over noncompact symplectic manifolds (Q711545): Difference between revisions

In their article [Topology 44, No.~1, 231--248 (2005; Zbl 1081.53042)], \textit{T. Hausel} and \textit{N. Proudfoot} consider integrals of equivariant forms over non-compact symplectic manifolds which do not converge, and they formally define these integrals as sums over zeroes of vector fields as in the Berline-Vergne localization formula. In this article, the author introduces a geometric-analytic regularization technique which ensures the convergence of such integrals and utilizes the symplectic structure of the manifold. He also proves that the Berline-Vergne localization formula holds for these integrals as well. The key step is to redefine the collection of integrals \(\int_M \alpha(X)\), \(X \in g\), as a distribution on the Lie algebra \(g\).
