Hamiltonian existence for a semisimple symplectic action

ID: hamiltonian-existence-for-a-semisimple-symplectic-action

For a symplectic left Lie group action, use actual fundamental fields and . They satisfy . Cartan's magic formula then gives . Thus every commutator generator has a globally exact contraction. A semisimple Lie algebra is perfect, so every generator has a global Hamiltonian. The separate semisimple moment-map equivariance result removes the constant two-cocycle obstruction and gives an equivariant moment map for a connected group.
