Singular oscillatory integrals in equivariant cohomology. Residue formulae for basic differential forms on general symplectic manifolds

Abstract

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold and $G$ a connected, compact Lie group acting on $M$ in a Hamiltonian way. In this paper, we study the equivariant cohomology of $M$ represented by basic differential forms, and relate it to the cohomology of the Marsden-Weinstein reduced space via certain residue formulae using resolution of singularities and the stationary phase principle. In case that $M$ is a compact, symplectic manifold or the co-tangent bundle of a $G$-manifold, similar residue formulae were derived by Jeffrey, Kirwan et al. for general equivariantly closed forms and by Ramacher for basic differential forms, respectively.
