I will present a generalization of the convexity theorem of Atiyah,
Guillemin-Sternberg and Kirwan, to Hamiltonian Lie group actions on
presymplectic manifolds. The result implies convexity theorems for actions
on contact manifolds, cosymplectic manifolds, as well as certain symplectic
"generalized manifolds". This is joint work with Yi Lin.
