Symplectic implosion is a construction in symplectic geometry due to Guillemin, Jeffrey and Sjamaar, which is related to geometric invariant theory for non-reductive group actions in algebraic geometry. This talk (based on joint work in progress with Andrew Dancer and Andrew Swann) is concerned with an analogous construction in hyperkahler geometry.
