3 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 The Delzant picture Compact symplectic toric manifolds Delzant polytopes (M 2n, ω) symplectic with a Hamiltonian action of G = T n : have G-invariant µ : M g R n with d µ, X = X ω X g the moment map µ invariant ω pulls-back to 0 on each T n -orbit b 1 (M) = 0 = each symplectic T n -action is Hamiltonian dim(m/t n ) equals dimension of target space of µ Stabiliser of any point is a (connected) subtorus of dimension n rankdµ

4 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 The Delzant polytope = {a R n a,u k λ k, k = 1,...,m} = µ(m) with faces F k = { µ,u k = λ k } satisfying smoothness F k1 F kr = u k1,...,u kr are part of a Z-basis for Z n R n compactness the intersection of any n faces is a point M is constructed as the symplectic quotient of C m by the Abelian group N given by at level λ = (λ k ) 0 N T m T n 0 0 n R m β R n 0 β(e k ) = u k

5 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Hypertoric Construction HyperKähler manifolds (M,д, ω I, ω J, ω K ) is hyperkähler if each (д, ω A = д(a, )) is Kähler and I J = K = JI Then dim M = 4n and д is Ricci-flat, holonomy in Sp(n) SU(2n) Ricci-flatness implies: if M is compact, then any Killing vector field is parallel so the holonomy of M reduces So take (M,д) non-compact and complete instead Swann (2016) and Dancer and Swann (2016), following Bielawski (1999), Bielawski and Dancer (2000) and Goto (1994)

6 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Hypertoric Construction Hypertoric is complete hyperkähler M 4n with tri-hamiltonian G = T n action: have G-invariant map (hyperkähler moment map) µ = (µ I, µ J, µ K ): M R 3 g d µ A, X = X ω A dim(m/t n ) equals dimension 3n of target space of µ Stabiliser of any point is a (connected) subtorus of dimension n 1 3 rankdµ Locally (Lindström and Roček 1983) д = (V 1 ) ij θ i θ j + V ij (dµ i I dµj I + dµi J dµj J + dµi K dµj K ), with V ij positive-definite and harmonic on every affine three-plane X a,v = a + R 3 v

7 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Hypertoric Construction Hypertoric configuration data For M 4n hypertoric, µ is surjective: µ(m 4n ) = R 3n = R 3 R n = Im H R n All stabilisers are (connected) subtori and µ induces a homeomorphism M/T n R 3n Polytope faces are replaced by affine flats of codimension 3: H k = H(u k, λ k ) = {a Im H R n a,u k = λ k }, u k Z n, λ k Im H smoothness H(u k1, λ k1 ) H(u kr, λ kr ) = u k1,...,u kr part of a Z-basis for Z n Get only finitely many distinct vectors u k, but possibly infinitely many λ k s is

8 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Hypertoric Construction Construction and classification Choose L finite or countably infinite and Λ = (Λ k ) k L H L, so that with λ k = 1 2 Λ kiλ k have k L(1 + λ k ) 1 < Let L 2 (H) = {v H L k L v k 2 < } Hilbert manifold M Λ = Λ + L 2 (H) is hyperkähler with action of Hilbert group T λ = {д (S 1 ) L k L(1 + λ k ) 1 д k 2 < } Suppose u k Z n are such that {H(u k, λ k ) k L} satisfy the smoothness condition and define the Hilbert group N β by 0 N β T λ T n 0 0 n β t λ β R n 0 β(e k ) = u k Then the hyperkähler quotient of M Λ by N β is hypertoric and every simply-connected hypertoric manifold arises in this way up to adding a (positive semi-definite) constant matrix to (V ij )

12 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Multi-Hamiltonian Toric G 2 Toric G 2 Definition A toric G 2 manifold is a parallel G 2 -structure (M, φ) with an action of T 3 multi-hamiltonian for both φ and φ Let U 1, U 2, U 3 generate the T 3 -action, then φ(u 1,U 2,U 3 ) = 0, multi-moment maps (ν, µ) = (ν 1,ν 2,ν 3, µ): M R 4 dν i = U j U k φ (i j k) = (1 2 3) dµ = U 1 U 2 U 3 φ Example M = S 1 C 3 has standard flat φ = i 2 dx(dz 11 + dz 22 + dz 33 ) + Re(dz 123) preserved by S 1 T 2 S 1 SU(3) 4(ν 1 iµ) = z 1 z 2 z 3, 4ν 2 = z 2 2 z 3 2, 4ν 3 = z 3 2 z 1 2

13 Delzant HyperKähler G 2 Multi-Hamiltonian Toric G 2 Proposition All isotropy groups of the T 3 action are connected and act on the tangent space as maximal tori in 1 SU(3), 1 3 SU(2) or 1 7 At a point p in a principal orbit U 1, U 2, U 3 are contained in a coassociative subspace of T p M and (dν,dµ) has full rank 4 Let M 0 be the points with trivial isotropy Then (ν, µ) induces a local diffeomorphism M 0 /T 3 R 4 Proposition For the flat structure on M = S 1 C 3 the quotient M/T 3 is homeomorphic to R 4 and (ν, µ) induces a homeomorphism Corollary For any toric G 2 -manifold M, the quotient M/T 3 is a topological manifold
