    Let \(\tau\) be a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a compact symplectic manifold. The authors find a formula, similar to Konstant's multiplicity formula, which gives a recipe for computing the weight multiplicities of an appropriate ``quantization'' of \(\tau\). There is also an asymptotic version of this formula which gives a recipe for computing the Duistermaat-Heckman polynomials associated with \(\tau\).
