Momentum Maps for Smooth Projective Unitary Representations

Abstract

For a smooth projective unitary representation of a locally convex Lie group G, the projective space of smooth vectors is a locally convex Kaehler manifold. We show that the action of G on this space is weakly Hamiltonian, and lifts to a Hamiltonian action of the central U(1)-extension of G obtained from the projective representation. We identify the non-equivariance cocycles obtained from the weakly Hamiltonian action with those obtained from the projective representation, and give some integrality conditions on the image of the momentum map.
