Symplectic reduction of an isotropic oscillator

ID: symplectic-reduction-of-an-isotropic-oscillator

For and , the oscillator flow is a free circle action on the sphere of radius . Its quotient is Complex projective space. For two modes, the reduced form in is , of total area . Reduction at zero energy is singular instead of a smooth quotient of the asserted dimension.
