| contents | Consider the transverse isometric action of a finite dimensional Lie algebra g on a Riemannian foliation. This paper studies the equivariant Morse-Bott theory on the leaf space of the Riemannian foliations in this setting. Among other things, we establish a foliated version of the Morse-Bott lemma for a g-invariant basic Morse-Bott function, and a foliated version of the usual handle presentation theorem. In the non-equivariant case, we apply these results to present a new proof of the Morse inequalities on Riemannian foliations. In the equivariant case, we apply these results to study Hamiltonian action of an abelian Lie algebra on a presymplectic manifold whose underlying foliation is also Riemannian, and extend the Kirwan surjectivity and injectivity theorem in equivariant symplectic geometry to this situation. Among other things, this implies the Kirwan surjectivity and injectivity hold for Hamiltonian torus actions on symplectic orbifolds. |
