Abstract

Lin and Sjamaar have used symplectic Hodge theory to obtain canonical equivariant extensions for Hamiltonian actions on closed symplectic manifolds that have the strong Lefschetz property. Here we obtain canonical equivariant extensions much more generally by means of classical Hodge theory.
