Review text

\textit{E.~Lerman} [Math. Res. Lett. 2, No. 3, 247--258 (1995; Zbl 0835.53034)] used the symplectic cuts in the setting of circle actions in order to prove that the localization theorems of \textit{L. C.~Jeffrey} and \textit{F. C.~Kirwan} [Topology 34, No. 2, 291--327 (1995; Zbl 0833.55009)] and \textit{V.~Guillemin} and \textit{J.~Kalkman} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 470, 123--142 (1996; Zbl 0837.57028)] can be deduced from the localization theorem of \textit{M. F.~Atiyah} and \textit{R.~Bott} [Topology 23, 1--28 (1984; Zbl 0521.58025)] and \textit{N.~Berline} and \textit{M.~Vergne} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 295, 539--541 (1982; Zbl 0521.57020)]. In the paper under review one shows that a similar approach can be used in a setting of higher dimensional torus actions as well. This method leads to a generalization of the Guillemin-Kalkman localization theorem to the case of cones of arbitrary dimension, and also leads to a new proof of the Jeffrey-Kirwan localization theorem. The paper includes a nice presentation of the background needed from symplectic reduction theory, equivariant cohomology, and symplectic cuts with respect to cones. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1062.53002].
