Cohomology of quotients in symplectic and algebraic geometry

These notes describe a general procedure for calculating the Betti numbers of the projective "ient varieties that geometric invariant theory associates to reductive group actions on nonsingular complex projective varieties. These "ient varieties are interesting in particular because of the...
