Abstract We introduce the notion of a Hamiltonian action of an étale Lie group stack on an étale symplectic stack and establish versions of the Kirwan convexity theorem, the Meyer–Marsden–Weinstein symplectic reduction theorem, and the Duistermaat–Heckman theorem in this context.

AbstractThis paper studies the following question: Given an ω′-symplectic action of a Lie group on a manifoldMwhich coincides, as a smooth action, with a Hamiltonian ω-action, when is this action a Hamiltonian ω′-action? Using a result of Morse-Bott theory presented in Section 2, we show in Section 3 of this paper that such an action is in fact a Hamiltonian ω′-action, provided thatM is compact and that the Lie group is compact and connected. This result was first proved by Lalonde-McDuff-Polterovich in 1999 as a consequence of a more general theory that made use of hard geometric analysis. In this paper, we prove it using classical methods only.

We construct Hermitian representations of Lie algebroids and associated unitary representations of Lie groupoids by a geometric quantization procedure. For this purpose, we introduce a new notion of Hamiltonian Lie algebroid actions. The first step of our procedure consists of the construction of a prequantization line bundle. Next, we discuss a version of Kähler quantization suitable for this setting. We proceed by defining a Marsden–Weinstein quotient for our setting and prove a "quantization commutes with reduction" theorem. We explain how our geometric quantization procedure relates to a possible orbit method for Lie groupoids. Our theory encompasses the geometric quantization of symplectic manifolds, Hamiltonian Lie algebra actions, actions of bundles of Lie groups, and foliations, as well as some general constructions from differential geometry.

Given a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group (not necessarily compact) on a symplectic manifold M, by means of the integration over M of the coupling class associated with this action, we define an element which is invariant under deformations of the action.

AbstractA method is exposed which allows the construction of families of first integrals in involution for Hamiltonian systems which are invariant under the Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G. This is applied to invariant Hamiltonian systems on the tangent bundles of certain homogeneous spaces M = G/K. It is proved, for example, that every such invariant Hamiltonian system is completely integrable if M is a real or complex Grassmannian manifold or SU(n + 1)/SO(n + 1) or a distance sphere in ℂPn+1. In particular, the geodesic flows of these homogeneous spaces are integrable.

We define a Hofer-type norm for the Hamiltonian map on regular Poisson manifold and prove that it is nondegenerate. We show that theL1,∞-norm and theL∞-norm coincide for the Hamiltonian map on closed regular Poisson manifold and give some sufficient conditions for a Hamiltonian path to be a geodesic. The norm between the Hamiltonian map and the induced Hamiltonian map on the quotient of Poisson manifold(M,{·,·})by a compact Lie group Hamiltonian action is also compared.

The French mathematician and physicist Jean-Marie Souriau studied Gibbs states for the Hamiltonian action of a Lie group on a symplectic manifold and considered their possible applications in Physics and Cosmology. These Gibbs states are presented here with detailed proofs of all the stated results. A companion paper to appear will present examples of Gibbs states on various symplectic manifolds on which a Lie group of symmetries acts by a Hamiltonian action, including the Poincar\'e disk and the Poincaré half-plane.

We study meromorphic actions of unipotent complex Lie groups on compact K\"ahler manifolds using moment map techniques. We introduce natural stability conditions and show that sets of semistable points are Zariski-open and admit geometric quotients that carry compactifiable K\"ahler structures obtained by symplectic reduction. The relation of our complex-analytic theory to the work of Doran--Kirwan regarding the Geometric Invariant Theory of unipotent group actions on projective varieties is discussed in detail.

For a closed Kähler manifold with a Hamiltonian action of a connected compact Lie group by holomorphic isometries, we construct a formal Frobenius manifold structure on the equivariant cohomology by exploiting a natural DGBV algebra structure on the Cartan model.
