A pull-back function via m Poisson commutes with all K-invariants. Guillemin-Sternberg raised the problem to find a converse. In this paper, we solve this problem by determining the Poisson commutant of the algebra of K-invariants. It is completely controlled by the image of m and a certain subquotient W_M of the Weyl group of K. The group W_M is also a reflection group and forms a symplectic analogue of the little Weyl group of a symmetric space. The proof rests ultimately on techniques from algebraic geometry. In fact, a major part of the paper is of independent interest: it establishes connectivity and reducedness properties of the fibers of the (complex algebraic) moment map of a complex cotangent bundle.33 pages, TeXDifferential Geometry58F05, 57S15, 14L30Weyl groups of Hamiltonian manifolds, Itext
