This paper is devoted to the study of the rational equivariant cohomology ring of a symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus. \textit{F. C. Kirwan} [Cohomology of quotients in symplectic and algebraic geometry, Math. Notes, Princeton, 31 (1984; Zbl 0553.14020)] proved that in the compact case the inclusion of the fixed points of the action in the manifold \(i:F\rightarrow M\) induces an injection \(i^{*}: H^{*}_T(M)\rightarrow H^{*}_T(F)\), where \(H^{*}_T(M)\) denotes the rational equivariant cohomology ring. Then, a natural question is to determine the image of \(i^{*}\), as it was done by \textit{M. Goresky, R. Kottwitz} and \textit{R. MacPherson} [Invent. Math. 131, No. 1, 25-83 (1998; Zbl 0897.22009)]. In this paper, a simple proof of the description of \(i^{*}\) is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00050].
