Moment map
1 Notations
Let denote the group of canonical transformations of
.
Let us denote
and
the group of left and right shifts on
(both
and
are
naturally isomorphic to
). Both left and right shifts naturally lift to
. Let
be the Lie algebra corresponding to
.
2 Central extension
Let
denote the space of functions on
. Notice that
is a
Lie superalgebra under the Poisson bracket. It is a central extension of
:
Let
denote the corresponding Lie group.
3 Moment map
As usual, we consider the right-invariant differential form on
with values
in
, which is denoted
. Because of (23), we can consider it as a
differential 1-form with values in
. There is some invariance under
the left and right shifts, which can be summarized as follows:
where:
- the action of
on
is induced from the following action on
:
- the action of
on
is:
