Abstract: Hamiltonian actions of infinite dimensional groups are of importance in field theory, and in particular in gauge theory. In this series of talks, we will consider examples of Hamiltonian actions of loop groups and of diffeomorphisms of the circle. The outline of the program is as follows.
Lecture 1: We will recall the main facts about Hamiltonian actions of compact groups on symplectic manifolds. These include the Marsden-Weinstein reduction, the convexity properties due to Atiyah and Guillemin-Sternberg (abelian case) and Kirwan, the Duistermaat-Heckman localization, the Kirwan’s surjectivity theorem, and the Guillemin-Sternberg quantization commutes with reduction (or [Q,R]=0) principle.
