Algebraic Hamiltonian actions (Q1031855)

The framework of the paper under review is provided by the Hamiltonian actions of reductive algebraic groups on irreducible normal affine Poisson varieties over an algebraically closed ground field \({\mathbb K}\) of characteristic zero. For a wide class of such Hamiltonian actions \(G\times X\to X\), one proves that the corresponding moment map gives rise to a quotient morphism \(\mu_{G,X}//G: X//G\to{\mathfrak g}//G\) whose fibers have the same dimension. For instance, this is the case for actions on generically symplectic varieties. Moreover, one takes a close look at the irreducible normal affine variety \(C_{G,X}\) given by the spectrum of the integral closure of \(\mu_{G,X}^*({\mathbb K}[{\mathfrak g}]^G)\) in \({\mathbb K}(X)^G\).
