Abstract: We study reduction of generalized complex structures. More precisely, we investigate the following question. Let J be a generalized complex structure on a manifold M, which admits an action of a Lie group G preserving J. Assume that M0 is a G-invariant smooth submanifold and the G-action on M0 is proper and free so that MG:=M0/G is a smooth manifold. Under what condition does J descend to a generalized complex structure on MG? We describe a sufficient condition for the reduction to hold, which includes the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of symplectic manifolds and the reduction of the complex structures in K"ahler manifolds as special cases. As an application, we study reduction of generalized K"ahler manifolds.
