Semifree Hamiltonian circle actions on 6-dimensional symplectic manifolds with non-isolated fixed point set

Abstract: Let

(M, o m e g a)

be a 6-dimensional closed symplectic manifold with a symplectic

S^{1}

-action with

M^{S^{1}} e q e m p t y s e t

and

d i m M^{S^{1}} l e q 2

. Assume that

o m e g a

is integral with a generalized moment map

m u

. We first prove that the action is Hamiltonian if and only if

b_{2}^{+} (M_{e d}) = 1

, where

M_{e d}

is any reduced space with respect to

m u

. It means that if the action is non-Hamiltonian, then

b_{2}^{+} (M_{e d}) g e q 2

. Secondly, we focus on the case when the action is semifree and Hamiltonian. We prove that if

M^{S^{1}}

consists of surfaces, then the number

k

of fixed surfaces with positive genera is at most four. In particular, if the extremal fixed surfaces are spheres, then

k

is at most one. Finally, we prove that

k e q 2

and we construct some examples of 6-dimensional semifree Hamiltonian

S^{1}

-manifolds such that

M^{S^{1}}

contains

k

surfaces of positive genera for

k = 0

and 4. Examples with

k = 1

and 3 were given in cite{L2}.
