Twisted Kirwan Injectivity and Surjectivity in Generalized Complex Geometry




Abstract:

I will report on recent work (joint with Yi Lin) generalizing Kirwan's results on the equivariant cohomology of Hamiltonian actions on symplectic manifolds to the twisted equivariant cohomology of Hamiltonian actions on generalized complex manifolds. I will also describe some surprising geometric consequences.
