Morse Theory with the Norm-square of a Hyperkähler Moment Map
نویسنده
چکیده
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 hyperkähler moment maps to compute the Betti numbers and cohomology rings of all toric hyperkähler orbifolds.

Morse Theory of the Moment Map for Representations of Quivers
The main results of this manuscript concern the Morse theory associated to the norm-square of a Kähler moment map f = ‖Φ − α‖2 on the space of representations Rep(Q,v) of a quiver; these are the first steps in a larger research program concerning the hyperkähler analogue of the well-known Kirwan surjectivity theorem in symplectic geometry. The first main result is that, although ‖Φ − α‖2 is not...
متن کاملStratifications Associated to Reductive Group Actions on Affine Spaces
For a complex reductive group G acting linearly on a complex affine space V with respect to a characterρ, we show two stratifications ofV associated to this action (and a choice of invariant inner product on the Lie algebra of the maximal compact subgroup ofG) coincide. The first is Hesselink’s stratification by adapted 1-parameter subgroups and the second is the Morse theoretic stratification ...
متن کاملThe Intersection Cohomology of Singular Symplectic Quotients
We give a general procedure for the calculation of the intersection Poincaré polynomial of the symplectic quotient M/K, of a symplectic manifold M by a hamiltonian group action of a compact Lie group K. The procedure mirrors that used by Kirwan for the calculation of the intersection Poincaré polynomial of a geometric invariant theory quotient of a nonsingular complex projective variety. That i...
متن کاملMorse Theory and Hyperkähler Kirwan Surjectivity for Higgs Bundles
This paper uses Morse-theoretic techniques to compute the equivariant Betti numbers of the space of semistable rank two degree zero Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface, a method in the spirit of Atiyah and Bott’s original approach for semistable holomorphic bundles. This leads to a natural proof that the hyperkähler Kirwan map is surjective for the non-fixed determinant case. CONTENTS

Interaction of meso — tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl) porphyrin (hereafter abbreviated to TSPP)with Na+ has been examined using HF level of theory with 6-31G* basis set. Counterpoise (CP)correction has been used to show the extent of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) on thepotential energy curves. The numbers of Na+ have a significant effect on the calculated potentialenergy curve (includ...
