The moment-map fiber dimension conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group and let XX be an irreducible affine Hamiltonian GG-variety. Let μG,X:X→g\mu_{G,X}:X\to\mathfrak g be its moment map, let mG(X)m_G(X) and def⁡G(X)\operatorname{def}_G(X) denote the invariants used in the paper, and let GηG\eta be the GG-orbit of η∈g\eta\in\mathfrak g.

Moment-map fiber dimension conjecture. One has

dim⁡μG,X−1(η)≤dim⁡X−mG(X)+def⁡G(X)+dim⁡Gη2.\dim\mu_{G,X}^{-1}(\eta)\leq \dim X-\frac{m_G(X)+\operatorname{def}_G(X)+\dim G\eta}{2}.

This conjecture proposes a uniform upper bound for dimensions of moment-map fibers in terms of the complexity-type invariant mG(X)m_G(X), the defect, and the dimension of the orbit of η\eta. The paper presents it as an open problem.
