Abstract: Suppose

(M, o m e g a)

is a compact symplectic manifold acted on by a compact Lie group

K

in a Hamiltonian fashion, with moment map

m u : M o L i e (K)^{*}

and Marsden-Weinstein reduction

M_{r e d} = m u^{- 1} (0) / K

. In this paper, we assume that

M

has a

K

-invariant K"ahler structure. In an earlier paper, we proved a formula (the residue formula) for

e t a_{0} e^{o m e g a_{0}} [M_{r e d}]

for any

e t a_{0} i n H^{*} (M_{r e d})

, where

o m e g a_{0}

is the induced symplectic form on

M_{r e d}

. Here we apply the residue formula in the special case

e t a_{0} = T d (M_{r e d})

; when

K

acts freely on

m u^{- 1} (0)

this yields a formula for the Riemann-Roch number

R R (L_{r e d})

of a holomorphic line bundle

L_{r e d}

on

M_{r e d}

that descends from a holomorphic line bundle

L

on

M

for which

c_{1} (L) = o m e g a

. Using the holomorphic Lefschetz formula we similarly obtain a formula for the

K

-invariant Riemann-Roch number

R R^{K} (L)

of

L

. In the case when the maximal torus

T

of

K

has dimension one (except in a few special circumstances), we show the two formulas are the same. Thus in this special case the residue formula is equivalent to the result of Guillemin and Sternberg that

R R (L_{r e d}) = R R^{K} (L)

. (The residue formula was proved under the assumption that 0 is a regular value of

m u

, and was given in terms of the restrictions of classes in the equivariant cohomology

H_{T}^{*} (M)
