Abstract: We extend the notion of multi-moment map to geometries defined by closed forms of arbitrary degree. We give fundamental existence and uniqueness results and discuss a number of essential examples, including geometries related to special holonomy. For forms of degree four, multi-moment maps are guaranteed to exist and are unique when the symmetry group is (3,4)-trivial, meaning that the group is connected and the third and fourth Lie algebra Betti numbers vanish. We give a structural description of some classes of (3,4)-trivial algebras and provide a number of examples.

Review text

The purpose of this article is to study the geometry of closed differential forms of arbitrary degree, with particular emphasis on new techniques that are available in the presence of symmetry. An important application of this theory is the construction of multi-moment maps with values in a finite-dimensional vector space. The case of closed four-forms is studied in detail using an algebraic condition on Lie groups that guarantees the existence and uniqueness of multi-moment maps for four-form geometries.
