Hamiltonian circle actions with almost minimal isolated fixed points

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let the circle act in a Hamiltonian fashion on a connected compact symplectic manifold (M,omega) of dimension 2n. Then the S1-action has at least n+1 fixed points. In a previous paper, we study the case when the fixed point set consists of precisely n+1 isolated points. In this paper, we study the case when the fixed point set consists of exactly n+2 isolated points. We show that in this case n must be even. We find equivalent conditions on the first Chern class of M and a particular weight of the S1-action. We also show that the particular weight can completely determine the integral cohomology ring and the total Chern class of M, and the sets of weights of the S1-action at all the fixed points. We will see that all these data are isomorphic to those of known examples, widetildeG2(mathbbRn+2) with ngeq2 even, equipped with standard circle actions.


Consider a Hamiltonian action of the circle on a connected compact symplectic manifold \((M, \omega)\) of dimension \(2n\). Then this circle action has at least \(n + 1\) fixed points. Having previously discussed the case when the fixed point set consists of exactly \(n + 1\) isolated points in [``Hamiltonian circle actions with minimal isolated fixed points, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1407.1948}], the author discusses in this work the case when the fixed point set consists of exactly \(n+2\) isolated points. The first observation is that in such a case \(n\) must be even. The main result of this work describes conditions on the image of the fixed point set by the moment map, which imply that the cohomology ring and the total Chern class of \(M\) are isomorphic to that of \(\widetilde G_2(\mathbb P^{n+2})\) and that the sets of weights of the circle action on \(M\) are those of a standard action on \(\widetilde G_2(\mathbb P^{n+2})\).
