#### de Rham Complexes on Orbit Spaces and Symplectic Quotients

###### Jordan Watts   [email] (UIUC Math)

Abstract: Let G be a Lie group acting on a manifold M. If the action is proper and free, then M/G is a manifold which admits a de Rham complex isomorphic to the subcomplex of basic forms on M. We will introduce the notion of a diffeology in order to extend this result to all proper actions. Time permitting, we will then compare this definition to a de Rham complex on a symplectic quotient as defined by Sjamaar.
