Abstract: We introduce a notion of moment map adapted to actions of Lie groups that preserve a closed three-form. We show existence of our multi-moment maps in many circumstances, including mild topological assumptions on the underlying manifold. Such maps are also shown to exist for all groups whose second and third Lie algebra Betti numbers are zero. We show that these form a special class of solvable Lie groups and provide a structural characterisation. We provide many examples of multi-moment maps for different geometries and use them to describe manifolds with holonomy contained in G_2 preserved by a two-torus symmetry in terms of tri-symplectic geometry of four-manifolds.

Review text

A \textit{strong geometry} is a pair \((M,c)\) where \(M\) is a manifold and \(c\) is a closed three-form on \(M\). A symmetry group of \((M,c)\) is a Lie group \(G\) which preserves \(c\). Let \(\mathfrak{g}\) denote the Lie algebra of \(G\), then the \textit{Lie kernel} \(\mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{g}}\) of \(\mathfrak{g}\) is the \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module identified by \(\text{ker}(L:\bigwedge^2\mathfrak{g} \rightarrow \mathfrak{g})\) where \(L\) is the linear map induced by the Lie bracket. The authors introduce a \textit{multi-moment map} by an equivariant map \(\nu:M \rightarrow \mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{g}}^*\) satisfying \(d\langle \nu, \mathbf{p} \rangle = i_P c\) for each \(\mathbf{p} \in \mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{g}}\) where \(P\) is the bi-vector field generated by \(\mathbf{p}\). They give several topological and algebraic criteria for the existence and uniqueness of multi-moment maps. They develop an algebraic theory of a special class of Lie algebras which play an important role in multi-moment maps, called \((2,3)\)-\textit{trivial Lie algebras}. Homogeneous strong geometries and their link to nearly Kähler and hypercomplex geometry are also studied. A special emphasis is given to torsion-free \(G_2\)-manifolds with an isometric action of a two-torus. It is shown how multi-moment maps lead to a description of such metrics via tri-symplectic geometry of four-manifolds. Several examples are given to illustrate the theory such as the total space \(\bigwedge^2 T^*N\) of the second exterior power of the cotangent bundle of a manifold \(N\), strong geometries obtained from symplectic manifolds, etc.
