On deformations of Hamiltonian actions (Q884664)

When one has a Hamiltonian action \({\Phi}\) of a compact Lie group \(G\) on a compact symplectic manifold \((M, \omega )\) one gets as well a momentum mapping from the manifold \(M\) to the dual space \({\mathfrak g}^*\) of the Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\) of \(G\). In the paper under review the authors prove that in the above setting provided that \(b_2(M) = k\) the moduli space of the Hamiltonian \(G\)-structures are of the same dimension. The peculiarities of the situation are explained by considering the \(SU(3)\) actions on \(\mathbb{CP}^2\times \mathbb{CP}^2\) and that of \(SO(5)\) on the product of the orbit space of its co-adjoint action with itself.
