Let $K$ be a compact Lie group with complexification $G$, and let $V$ be a unitary $K$-module. We consider the real symplectic quotient $M_{0}$ at level zero of the homogeneous quadratic moment map as well as the complex symplectic quotient, defined here as the complexification of $M_{0}$. We show that if $(V,G)$ is $3$-large, a condition that holds generically, then the complex symplectic quotient has symplectic singularities and is graded Gorenstein. This implies in particular that the real symplectic quotient is graded Gorenstein. In case $K$ is a torus or $\operatorname{SU}_{2}$, we show that these results hold without the hypothesis that $(V,G)$ is $3$-large.

AbstractWe obtain normal forms for infinitesimally symplectic matrices (or linear Hamiltonian vector fields) that commute with the symplectic action of a compact Lie group of symmetries. In doing so we extend Williamson's theorem on normal forms when there is no symmetry present.Using standard representation-theoretic results the symmetry can be factored out and we reduce to finding normal forms over a real division ring. There are three real division rings consisting of the real, complex and quaternionic numbers. Of these, only the real case is covered in Williamson's original work.

Let G be a connected compact Lie group, and let M be a connected Hamiltonian G-manifold with equivariant moment map ϕ. We prove that if there is a simply connected orbit G ⋅ x, then π1(M) ≅ π1(M/G); if additionally ϕ is proper, then π1(M) ≅ π1 (ϕ-1(G⋅a)), where a = ϕ(x). We also prove that if a maximal torus of G has a fixed point x, then π1(M) ≅ π1(M/K), where K is any connected subgroup of G; if additionally ϕ is proper, then π1(M) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(G⋅a)) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(a)), where a = ϕ(x). Furthermore, we prove that if ϕ is proper, then [Formula: see text] for all a ∈ ϕ(M), where [Formula: see text] is any connected subgroup of G which contains the identity component of each stabilizer group; in particular, π1(M/G) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(G⋅a)/G) for all a ∈ ϕ(M).

AbstractLet G be a Lie group acting in Hamiltonian fashion on a symplectic manifold M with moment map Φ:M → g*. A function of the form ƒ∘Φ where ƒ is a function on g* is called ‘collective’. We obtain necessary conditions on the G action for there to exist enough Poisson commuting functions on g* so that the corresponding collective functions on M form a completely integrable system. For the case G = O(n) or U(n) these conditions are sufficient. This explains Thimm's proof [17] of the complete integrability of the geodesic flow on the real and complex grassmanians. We also discuss related questions in the geometry of the moment map.

The real forms of complex groups (or algebras) are important in physics and mathematics. The Lie group SL2,C is one of these important groups. There are real forms of the classical Lie group SL2,C and the quantum group SL2,C in the literature. Inspired by this, in our study, we obtain the real forms of the fractional supergroups shown with A3NSL2,C, for the non-trivial N = 1 and N = 2 cases, that is, the real forms of the fractional supergroups A31SL2,C and A32SL2,C.

Abstract Greenlees has conjectured that the rational stable equivariant homotopy category of a compact Lie group always has an algebraic model. Based on this idea, we show that the category of rational local systems on a connected finite loop space always has a simple algebraic model. When the loop space arises from a connected compact Lie group, this recovers a special case of a result of Pol and Williamson about rational cofree G-spectra. More generally, we show that if K is a closed subgroup of a compact Lie group G such that the Weyl group W G K is connected, then a certain category of rational G-spectra “at K” has an algebraic model. For example, when K is the trivial group, this is just the category of rational cofree G-spectra, and this recovers the aforementioned result. Throughout, we pay careful attention to the role of torsion and complete categories.

Let G be a compact Lie group and V and W be linear G spaces. A study is made of the canonical stratification of some algebraic varieties that arise naturally in the theory of C∞ equivariant maps from V to W. The main corollary of our results is the equivalence of Bierstone's concept of “equivariant general position” with our own of “G transversal”. The paper concludes with a description of Bierstone's higher order conditions for equivariant maps in the framework of equisingularity sequences.
