Abstract

Let $T=U(1)$ and $M$ be a Hamiltonian $T$-space with proper moment map $\mu\,{:}\,M\longrightarrow \rr$. When 0 is not a regular value of $\mu$, the symplectic quotient $X=\mu^{-1}(0)/T$ is a singular stratified space. A description is provided of the middle perversity intersection cohomology of $X$ as a subspace of the equivariant cohomology $H^*_T(\mu^{-1}(0))$. The approach is sheaf theoretic.
