Moment maps and isoparametric hypersurfaces of OT-FKM type

Associated with a Clifford system on R^(2 l),a Spin(m+1)action is induced on R^(2 l).An isoparametric hypersurface N in S^(2 l-1)of OT-FKM(Ozeki,Takeuchi,Ferns,Karcher and Miinzner)type is invariant under this action,and so is the Cartan-Munzner polynomial F(x).This action is extended to a Hamiltonian action on C^(2 l).We give a new description of F(x)by the moment mapμ:C2 l→t^(*),where t≌o(m+1)is the Lie algebra of Spin(m+1).It also induces a Hamiltonian action on CP^(2 l-1).We consider the Gauss map g of N into the complex hyperquadric Q_(2 l-2)(C)■CP^(2 l-1),and show that g(N)lies in the zero level set of the moment map restricted to Q_(2 l-2)(C).
