Abstract
Let be a compact symplectic manifold with convex boundary and . Suppose that is equipped with a convex Hamiltonian -action for some connected, compact Lie group . We construct an action of the pure Coulomb branch of on the -equivariant symplectic cohomology of . Building on work of Teleman (J. Eur. Math. Soc. 23 (2021), 3497–3520), we use this construction to characterize the Coulomb branches of Braverman–Finkelberg–Nakajima (Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 22 (2018), 1071–1147) in terms of equivariant symplectic cohomology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Topology publishes papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry and adjacent areas of mathematics. Interesting, important and often unexpected links connect topology and geometry with many other parts of mathematics, and the editors welcome submissions on exciting new advances concerning such links, as well as those in the core subject areas of the journal.
The Journal of Topology was founded in 2008. It is published quarterly with articles published individually online prior to appearing in a printed issue.
