Abstract: An isometric compact group action $Gimes(M,g)ightarrow(M,g)$ is called polar if there exists a closed embedded submanifold $SigmasubseteqM$ which meets all orbits orthogonally. Let $Pi$ be the associated generalized Weyl group. We study the properties of the lifting action $G$ on the cotangent bundle $T^{\ast }M$. In particular, we show that the restriction map $(C^{infty}(T^{\ast }M){)}^{G}ightarrow(C^{infty}(T^{\ast }Sigma){)}^{Pi}$ is a surjective homomorphism of Poisson algebras. As a corollary, the singular symplectic reductions $T^{\ast }M//G$ and $T^{\ast }Sigma//Pi$ are isomorphic as stratified symplectic spaces, which gives a partial answer to a conjecture of Lerman, Montgomery and Sjamaar.
