I posted this question [here][1] on math.stackexchange.com. I have not had an answer, and I thought it could be more appropriate here. (Please, If you judge this my opinion is wrong, then I will delete this question) Reading a paper I had the need to complete a proof, and came up with a certain argument(see below). My question is: at your knowledge, could I reduce it to a special case of some other theorem? I ask this question in order to give a correct reference, instead of my trivial ad hoc argument, in the case the answer is positive. I had to prove that: Given a smooth action $\Psi$ of $\mathbb{T}^k$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, if $\omega$ is exact and there exists a smooth map $\pi:M\to P$ constant on the orbit of $\Psi$ and such that $\zeta_X\lrcorner\omega\in\pi^*(\Omega^1(P)),\forall X\in\textrm{Lie}(\mathbb{T}^k)$,( being $\zeta$ the action of $\textrm{Lie}(\mathbb{T}^k)$ on $M$ induced by $\Psi$), then the $\Psi$ is an hamiltonian action w.r.t. $\omega$. ---------- For completeness, I sketch also the trivial proof: Let $\eta$ be a primitive of $\omega$, and $\mu_i\in C^{\infty}(M,\mathbb{R})$ be defined by $\mu_i=\int_0^1(\textrm{Fl}_t^{{\zeta_{{e_i}}}})^*(\zeta_{e_i}\lrcorner\eta)dt$ . We content that $d\mu_i=\zeta_{e_i}\lrcorner\omega$, for any $i=1,\ldots,k$. By H.Cartan's formula and the theorem on Lie derivative we get $d\mu_i=\int_0^1\frac{d}{dt}((\textrm{Fl}_t^{\zeta_{e_i}})^*\eta)dt-\int_0^1(\textrm{Fl}_t^{\zeta_{e_i}})^*(\zeta_{e_i}\lrcorner\omega)dt$. The first integral is identically zero for periodicity. The second one is $\zeta_{e_i}\lrcorner\omega$, because its integrand is a constant function of $t$, i.e. $\mathcal{L}(\zeta_{e_i}).(\zeta_{e_i}\lrcorner\omega)=0$ by the hypothesis.
