Character and multiplicity formulas for compact Hamiltonian \(G\)-spaces




Abstract: Let K subset G be compact connected Lie groups with common maximal torus T. Let (M, omega) be a prequantisable compact connected symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian G-action. Geometric quantisation gives a virtual representation of G; we give a formula for the character chi of this virtual representation as a quotient of virtual characters of K. When M is a generic coadjoint orbit our formula agrees with the Gross-Kostant-Ramond-Sternberg formula. We then derive a generalisation of the Guillemin-Prato multiplicity formula which, for lambda a dominant integral weight of K, gives the multiplicity in chi of the irreducible representation of K of highest weight lambda.
