Lerman–Montgomery–Sjamaar conjecture on cotangent symplectic reductions
Lerman–Montgomery–Sjamaar conjecture on cotangent symplectic reductions
Let and be Lie groups and let and be smooth manifolds on which and , respectively, act properly. Assume that the orbit spaces and are diffeomorphic in the sense that there exists a homeomorphism
such that the pullback map
is an isomorphism. The cotangent symplectic reductions and are stratified symplectic spaces, with smooth functions inherited from invariant smooth functions on the corresponding cotangent bundles. Lerman–Montgomery–Sjamaar conjecture. Under these assumptions, and are isomorphic as stratified symplectic spaces: there exists a homeomorphism between them whose pullback is an isomorphism of their Poisson algebras of smooth functions. The conjecture asserts that the cotangent symplectic reduction is determined by the smooth orbit space. The source attributes this conjecture to an earlier work and presents it without evidence of resolution; its status is therefore open.
