Moment map for rotation of the complex projective line

ID: moment-map-for-rotation-of-the-complex-projective-line

For the symplectic form , the circle group rotates by . Its real generator is . The contraction is , so is a Hamiltonian function in this sign convention. In the other chart , , proving smoothness at infinity. Its image is with the endpoints at the fixed poles. The symplectic area is ; rescaling to the round area would double this moment function.
