Abstract

We study certain symplectic quotients of n-fold products of complex projective m-space by the unitary group acting diagonally. After studying nonemptiness and smoothness these quotients we construct the action-angle variables, defined on an open dense subset of an integrable Hamiltonian system. The semiclassical quantization of this system reproduces formulas from the representation theory of the unitary group.
