Critical values of moment maps on quantizable manifolds

Publication date: 2 November 2007

Abstract: Let

M

be a quantizable symplectic manifold acted on by

T = (S^{1})^{r}

in a Hamiltonian fashion and

J

a moment map for this action. Suppose that the set

M^{T}

of fixed points is discrete and denote by

{a l p h a}_{p j} i n {m a t h b b Z}^{r}

the weights of the isotropy representation at

p

. By means of the

a l p h a_{p j}

's we define a partition

{m a t h c a l Q}_{+}

,

{m a t h c a l Q}_{-}

of

M^{T}

. (When

r = 1

,

{m a t h c a l Q}_{p m}

will be the set of fixed points such that the half of the Morse index of

J

at them is even (odd)). We prove the existence of a map

p i_{p m} : {m a t h c a l Q}_{p m} o {m a t h c a l Q}_{m p}

such that

J (q) - J (p i_{p m} (q)) i n I_{m p}

, for all

q i n {m a t h c a l Q}_{p m}

, where

I_{p m}

is the lattice generated by the

a l p h a_{p j}

's with

p i n {m a t h c a l Q}_{p m} .

We define partition functions

N_{p}

similar to the ones of Kostant cite{Gui} and we prove that

s u m_{p i n {m a t h c a l Q}_{+}} N_{p} (l) = s u m_{p i n {m a t h c a l Q}_{-}} N_{p} (l)

, for any

l i n {m a t h b b Z}^{r}

with

| l |

sufficiently large.
