Abstract

When a complex semisimple group GG acts holomorphically on a K\"ahler manifold (X,ω)(X,\omega) such that a maximal compact subgroup KGK\subset G preserves the symplectic form ω\omega, a basic result of symplectic geometry says that the corresponding categorical quotient X/GX/G can be identified with quotient of the zero-set of the moment map by the action of KK. We extend this to the context of a semisimple group acting on a Sasakian manifold.
