Abstract:
We consider a Hamiltonian torus action on a compact connected symplectic manifold and its associated momentum map . For certain Lagrangian submanifolds we show that is convex. The submanifolds arise as the fixed point set of an involutive diffeomorphism which satisfies several compatibility conditions with the torus action, but which is in general not anti-symplectic. As an application we complete a symplectic proof of Kostant's non-linear convexity theorem.
