Oct 29, 2017 at 14:27 comment added Qiao Thanks a lot for the comments. I am interested in the case of a compact, connected Hamiltonian $T-$manifold $M$ with moment map $\mu: M \rightarrow \mathfrak{t}^*$. A theorem of Atiyah states that any non-empty preimage of $\mu$ is connected. This is closely related to the famous convexity result that $\mu(M)$ is convex in $\mathfrak{t}^*$.

Oct 25, 2017 at 22:01 comment added user21574 Theorem of Kirwan :Let $M$ be a Hamiltonian $G$-manifold, if $M$ is connected and compact then the level sets of moment map are connected. Kirwan, F.: Convexity properties of the moment mapping III. Invent. math. 77 (1984), 547-552
Oct 25, 2017 at 21:52 comment added user21574 There are examples such that fibers of moment map may not be connected , for example non-compact symplectic toric manifold. See Atiyah M.F., Convexity and commuting Hamiltonians, Bull. London Math. Soc. 14 (1982), 1–15., and Guillemin V., Sternberg S., Convexity properties of the moment mapping, Invent. Math. 67 (1982), 491–513.
