Blowing up symplectic orbifolds (Q5952376)

The author studies different blow-up constructions on symplectic orbifolds by using different circle actions. Some of these constructions are used to describe the behavior of reduced spaces of Hamiltonian circle actions on a symplectic orbifold, when passing a critical level of its Hamiltonian function. Using these descriptions, the author generalizes, in the manifold case, the wall-crossing theorem of Guillemin and Sternberg to the case of a Hamiltonian torus action, not necessaily quasi-free, and the Duistermaat-Heckman theorem to intervals of values of the Hamiltonian function containing critical values.
