Gradient Flow of the Norm Squared of a Moment Map
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a proof due to Duistermaat that the gradient flow of the norm squared of the moment map defines a deformation retract of the appropriate piece of the manifold onto the zero level set of the moment map. Duistermaat’s proof is an adaptation of Lojasiewicz’s argument for analytic functions to functions which are locally analytic.

Morse Theory with the Norm-square of a Hyperkähler Moment Map
We prove that the norm-square of a moment map associated to a linear action of a compact group on an affine variety satisfies a certain gradient inequality. This allows us to bound the gradient flow, even if we do not assume that the moment map is proper. We describe how this inequality can be extended to hyperkähler moment maps in some cases, and use Morse theory with the norm-squares of hyper...
متن کاملDistinguished Orbits of Reductive Groups
We prove a generalization and give a new proof of a theorem of Borel-Harish-Chandra on closed orbits of linear actions of reductive groups. Consider a real reductive algebraic group G acting linearly and rationally on a real vector space V . G can be viewed as the real points of a complex reductive group G C which acts on V C := V ⊗ C. In [BHC62] it was shown that G · v ∩ V is a finite union of...
متن کاملMoment Norm Gradient Flow on Flag Manifolds
A geometric proof of the Matsuki orbit duality for flag manifolds is established in [2] by analyzing the gradient flow of the normsquared of a moment map. In the present paper, we investigate explicit formulas for integral curves associated with this flow, leading to a correspondence between certain integral curves and Cayley transforms. In addition, an exhaustive collection of curves is presen...
متن کاملOn the $k$-ary Moment Map
The moment map is a mathematical expression of the concept of the conservation associated with the symmetries of a Hamiltonian system. The abstract moment map is defined from G-manifold M to dual Lie algebra of G. We will interested study maps from G-manifold M to spaces that are more general than dual Lie algebra of G. These maps help us to reduce the dimension of a manifold much more.
متن کاملImpact of Novel Incorporation of CT-based Segment Mapping into a Conjugated Gradient Algorithm on Bone SPECT Imaging: Fundamental Characteristics of a Context-specific Reconstruction Method
Objective(s): The latest single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) reconstruction system, referred to as xSPECT Bone™, is a context-specific reconstruction system utilizing tissue segmentation information from CT data, which is called a zone map. The aim of this study was to evaluate theeffects of zone-map enhancement incorporated into the ordered-subset conjug...
