Abstract

A closed 3-form H ∈ Ω30(M) defines an extension of Γ(TM) by Ω20(M). This fact leads to the definition of the group of H-twisted Hamiltonian symmetries (M, ; H) as well as Hamiltonian action of Lie group and moment map in the category of (twisted) generalized complex manifold. The Hamiltonian reduction in the category of generalized complex geometry is then constructed. The definitions and constructions are natural extensions of the corresponding ones in the symplectic geometry. We describe cutting in generalized complex geometry to show that it's a general phenomenon in generalized geometry that topology change is often accompanied by twisting (class) change.
