A weighted version of quantization commutes with reduction for a toric manifold

Abstract

We compute explicitly the equivariant Hirzebruch ${\chi }_y$-characteristic of an equivariant complex line bundle over a toric manifold and state a weighted version of the quantization commutes with reduction principle in symplectic geometry. Then, we give a weighted decomposition formula for any simple polytope in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. This formula generalizes a polytope decomposition due to Lawrence [10] and Varchenko [14] and extends a previous weighted version obtained by Karshon, Sternberg and Weitsman [9].
