$S^1$-localisation by pseudocycles, lifts to $S^1$-localisation of moduli spaces, and application to invariants of $S^1$-equivariant symplectic cohomology (2212.06044v2)

Abstract: We demonstrate a way to apply $S^1$-localisation to moduli spaces of holomorphic curves. We first prove a reinterpretation of Atyiah-Bott $S^1$-localisation, called {\it localisation by pseudocycles} (LbP), for a smooth semifree $S^1$-action on a manifold. We demonstrate that, for certain moduli spaces of holomorphic curves parametrised by some stratum of the homotopy quotient of a manifold, we may ``lift" the LbP procedure from the parameter space to the moduli space. As an application we deduce relations between equivariant symplectic classes and Gromov-Witten invariants, thus proving a conjecture of Seidel.
