Abstract: | Let M be a Hamiltonian K-space with proper moment map µ.The symplectic quotient X = µ1(0)/K is a singularstratified space with a symplectic structure on the strata.In this paper we generalise the Kirwan map, which maps the Kequivariant cohomology of µ1(0) to the middle perversityintersection cohomology of X, to this symplectic setting. The key technical results which allow us to do this are Meinrenken'sand Sjamaar's partial desingularisation of singular symplecticquotients and a decomposition theorem, proved in Section 2 ofthis paper, exhibiting the intersection cohomology of a symplecticblowup of the singular quotient X along a maximal depthstratum as a direct sum of terms including the intersectioncohomology of X. |
