Holomorphic Slices, Symplectic Reduction and Multiplicities of Representations
Abstract
Description
I prove the existence of slices for an action of a reductive complex Lie group on a Kähler manifold at certain orbits, namely those orbits that intersect the zero level set of a momentum map for the action of a compact real form of the group. I give applications of this result to symplectic reduction and geometric quantization at singular levels of the momentum map. In particular, I obtain a formula for the multiplicities of the irreducible representations occurring in the quantization in terms of symplectic invariants of reduced spaces, generalizing a result of Guillemin and Sternberg.
