On the Chern numbers for pseudo-free circle actions

Abstract: Let

(M, p s i)

be a

(2 n + 1)

-dimensional oriented closed manifold equipped with a pseudo-free

S^{1}

-action

p s i : S^{1} i m e s M i g h t a r r o w M

. We first define a extit{local data}

m a t h c a l L (M, p s i)

of the action

p s i

which consists of pairs

(C, (p (C); o v e r r i g h t a r r o w q (C)))

where

C

is an exceptional orbit,

p (C)

is the order of isotropy subgroup of

C

, and

o v e r r i g h t a r r o w q (C) i n (m a t h b b Z_{p (C)}^{i m e s})^{n}

is a vector whose entries are the weights of the slice representation of

C

. In this paper, we give an explicit formula of the Chern number

l a n g l e c_{1} (E)^{n}, [M / S^{1}] a n g l e

modulo

m a t h b b Z

in terms of the local data, where

E = M i m e s_{S^{1}} m a t h b b C

is the associated complex line orbibundle over

M / S^{1}

. Also, we illustrate several applications to various problems arising in equivariant symplectic topology.
