The moment map images of these varieties are a collection of polytopes, and they may be used to compute weight multiplicities and tensor product multiplicities for representations of a semisimple group. The polytopes are explicitly described for a few low rank groups.17 pages, 10 figuresAlgebraic GeometryCombinatoricsRepresentation Theorytext
