Fubini-Study form from circle reduction

ID: fubini-study-form-from-circle-reduction

The scalar circle group action on with the standard symplectic form has moment map in the convention . Reduction of the radius- sphere gives Complex projective space and the form . Its area on a complex projective line is . Thus yields the Fubini-Study form normalized to projective-line area , while yields half that form. The Hopf fibration identifies the quotient.
