Abstract: A generalized Calabi-Yau structure is a geometrical structure on a manifold which generalizes both the concept of the Calabi-Yau structure and that of the symplectic one. In view of a result of Lin and Tolman in generalized complex cases, we introduce in this paper the notion of a generalized moment map for a compact Lie group action on a generalized Calabi-Yau manifold and construct a reduced generalized Calabi-Yau structure on the reduced space. As an application, we show some relationship between generalized moment maps and the Bergman kernels, and prove the Duistermaat-Heckman formula for a torus action on a generalized Calabi-Yau manifold.

Review text

Generalized Calabi-Yau structures are geometrical structures defined by differential forms with the aim of generalizing the concept of Calabi-Yau structures and symplectic structures. These aspects are discussed in Section 2 of the paper. In the next section, the author uses the notion of generalized moment maps for a compact Lie group action on a generalized Clabi-Yau manifold to construct a Calabi-Yau structure on the reduced space. It is shown that the reduced generalized Calabi-Yau structure is unique. In the last section, the author proves the Duistermaat-Heckman formula for the corresponding volume form, for a Hamiltonian, effective torus action on a generalized Calabi-Yau manifold of constant type.
