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:
