Moment Maps and Combinatorial Invariants of Hamiltonian Tn-spaces by Victor Guillemin
The action of a compact Lie group, G, on a compact sympletic manifold gives rise to some remarkable combinatorial invariants. The simplest and most interesting of these is the moment polytopes, a convex polyhedron which sits inside the dual of the Lie algebra of G. This book is suitable for researchers and can be used as a semester text."..carefully written book [on] the so-called Delzant spaces... Many of the statements in the body of the book are left as exercises (with copious hints). At the end of each chapter there are very interesting bibliographical notes. The reader who works through this book will acquire a solid knowledge of this beautiful and elegant part of mathematics."
