Abstract: The unimodality conjecture posed by Tolman in the conference `Moment maps in Various Geometry" in 2005 states that if (M,w) is a 2n-dimensional smooth compact symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian circle action with only isolated fixed points, then the sequence of Betti numbers is unimodal. Recently, the author and M. Kim proved that the unimodality holds in eight-dimensional cases by using equivariant cohomology theory. In this paper, we generalize the idea in cite{CK} to an arbitrary dimensional case. Also, we prove the conjecture in arbitrary dimension with an assumption that a moment map "index-increasing."

Review text

The author of the paper under review proves conditions under which a \(2n\)-dimensional smooth compact symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\) equipped with a Hamiltonian circle action with isolated fixed points has unimodal even Betti numbers. He shows that when the moment map is an index increasing function the above statement is true. He uses equivariant cohomology arguments and the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization theorem. He ends the paper by giving some examples.
