Abstract: We study reduction of generalized complex structures. More precisely, we investigate the following question. Let $J$ be a generalized complex structure on a manifold $M$, which admits an action of a Lie group $G$ preserving $J$. Assume that $M_0$ is a $G$-invariant smooth submanifold and the $G$-action on $M_0$ is proper and free so that $M_G:=M_0/G$ is a smooth manifold. Under what condition does $J$ descend to a generalized complex structure on $M_G$? We describe a sufficient condition for the reduction to hold, which includes the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of symplectic manifolds and the reduction of the complex structures in K"ahler manifolds as special cases. As an application, we study reduction of generalized K"ahler manifolds.

Review text

This paper deals with the reduction of generalized complex structures. Due to their connection with mirror symmetry, generalized complex structures have been extensively studied. In this work, the authors consider a generalized complex structures \(J\) on a manifold \(M\), endowed with the action of a Lie group \(G\). They study the conditions for \(M/J\) to be a generalized complex manifold. This involves the Marsden-Weinstein reductions of symplectic manifolds. Finally, reduction of generalized Kähler manifolds are also discussed.
