一句话总结

本文建立了弗雷歇流形之间等变映射的正规形式定理,并发展了无穷维的奇异辛约化理论,将经典 Marle-Guillemin-Sternberg 正规形式推广至无穷维情形。通过结合截面定理与 Kuranishi 型构造,证明了约化相空间可分解为具有精细分层的辛流形——即余切丛设定下的“接缝”(seams),并将该框架应用于规范场论,包括杨-米尔斯理论与杨-米尔斯-希格斯模型。

ABSTRACT

A local normal form theorem for smooth equivariant maps between Fréchet manifolds is established. Moreover, an elliptic version of this theorem is obtained. The proof these normal form results is inspired by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for dynamical systems and by the Kuranishi method for moduli spaces, and uses a slice theorem for Fréchet manifolds as the main technical tool. As a consequence of this equivariant normal form theorem, the abstract moduli space obtained by factorizing a level set of the equivariant map with respect to the group action carries the structure of a Kuranishi space. Moreover, the theory of singular symplectic reduction is developed in the infinite-dimensional Fréchet setting. By refining the above construction, a normal form for momentum maps similar to the classical Marle-Guillemin-Sternberg normal form is established. Analogous to the reasoning in finite dimensions, this normal form result is then used to show that the reduced phase space decomposes into smooth manifolds each carrying a natural symplectic structure. Finally, the singular symplectic reduction scheme is further investigated in the situation where the original phase space is an infinite-dimensional cotangent bundle. The fibered structure of the cotangent bundle yields a refinement of the usual orbit-momentum type strata into so-called seams. Using a suitable normal form theorem, it is shown that these seams are manifolds. Taking the harmonic oscillator as an example, the influence of the seams on dynamics is illustrated. The general results stated above are applied to various gauge theory models. The moduli spaces of anti-self-dual connections in four dimensions and of Yang-Mills connections in two dimensions is studied. Moreover, the stratified structure of the reduced phase space of the Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is investigated in a Hamiltonian formulation.

研究动机与目标

  • 将经典动量映射正规形式定理推广至无穷维弗雷歇流形情形。

  • 以弗雷歇流形的截面定理作为核心技术工具,实现局部正规形式。
  • 将抽象模空间构造为在群作用下对某水平集的商空间,并证明其继承了 Kuranishi 空间的结构。
  • 将动量映射正规形式进一步精炼,得到 Marle-Guillemin-Sternberg 定理在无穷维情形下的类比。
  • 分析相空间的余切丛结构,以识别‘接缝’——超越标准轨道-动量型分层的精细分层。
  • 利用精炼后的正规形式,证明接缝为光滑子流形,从而在约化空间上实现分层辛结构。
