Abstract:

Let $X$ be a simply connected topological space, and let ${\mathcal {L}_{\ast }}(X)$ be its rational homotopy Lie algebra. Suppose that a torus acts on $X$ with fixed points, and suppose that $F$ is a simply connected component of the fixed point set. If ${\mathcal {L}_{\ast }}(X)$ is finitely presented and if $F$ is full, then it is shown that ${\mathcal {L}_{\ast }}(F)$ is finitely presented, and that the numbers of generators and relations in a minimal presentation of ${\mathcal {L}_{\ast }}(F)$ do not exceed the numbers of generators and relations (respectively) in a minimal presentation of ${\mathcal {L}_{\ast }}(X)$. Various other related results are given.
