Cohomology of a Hamiltonian T-space with involution

Abstract: Let

M

be a compact symplectic manifold on which a compact torus

T

acts Hamiltonialy with a moment map

m u

. Suppose there exists a symplectic involution

h e t a : M o M

, such that

m u c i r c h e t a = - m u

. Assuming that 0 is a regular value of

m u

, we calculate the trace of the action of

h e t a

on the cohomology of

M

in terms of the trace of the action of

h e t a

on the symplectic reduction

m u^{- 1} (0) / T

of

M

. This result generalizes a theorem of R. Stanley, who considered the case when

M

was a toric variety.
