Abstract: Let the circle act in a Hamiltonian fashion on a compact symplectic manifold $(M,omega)$ of dimension $2n$. Then the $S^1$-action has at least $n+1$ fixed points. We study the case when the fixed point set consists of precisely $n+1$ isolated points. We first show certain equivalence on the first Chern class of $M$ and some particular weight of the $S^1$-action at some fixed point. Then we show that the particular weight can completely determine the integral cohomology ring of $M$, the total Chern class of $M$, and the sets of weights of the $S^1$-action at all the fixed points. We will see that all these data are isomorphic to those of known examples, $C{P}^n$, or $G{t}_2(R^{n+2})$ with $ngeq3$ odd, equipped with standard circle actions.

Review text

The author investigates the topological and geometrical constraints of Hamiltonian circle actions with minimal isolated fixed points. More precisely, given a Hamiltonian group action on a compact symplectic manifold, the fixed point set contains at least \(n+1\) points. Two examples of actions with minimal number of isolated fixed points are defined on the complex projective space and the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+2}\), with \(n \geq 3\) odd. The tangent space at a fixed point \(P_i\), \(i=0,\dots,n\), splits into \(n\) copies of \(\mathbb{C}\), on each of which \(\mathbb{S}^1\) acts by multiplication by \(\lambda^{w_i}\), where the integers \(w_i\) are called the weights. Let \(\phi\) be the moment map; the fixed points can be labeled so that \(\phi(P_0)<\cdots<\phi(P_n)\). The main theorem states that: (1) \(c_1(M) = (n + 1)[\omega]\) if and only if the integer \(\phi(P_n) -\phi(P_0)\) occurs as a weight of the action at some fixed point; (2) \(c_1(M) = n[\omega]\) if and only if \(\phi(P_{n-1}) -\phi(P_0) = \phi(P_n) - \phi(P_1)\) holds, and this integer occurs as a weight of the action at some fixed point, but \(\phi(P_n) -\phi(P_0)\) is not a weight at any fixed point. For the two cases above, the author proves that certain topological and geometrical data are isomorphic to the cases of the examples mentioned in the first paragraph of this review.
