Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact symplectic manifold on which a compact torus $T$ acts Hamiltonialy with a moment map $mu$. Suppose there exists a symplectic involution $heta:MoM$, such that $mucircheta=-mu$. Assuming that 0 is a regular value of $mu$, we calculate the trace of the action of $heta$ on the cohomology of $M$ in terms of the trace of the action of $heta$ on the symplectic reduction $m{u}^{-1}(0)/T$ of $M$. This result generalizes a theorem of R. Stanley, who considered the case when $M$ was a toric variety.
