This paper is concerned with the Hamiltonian actions of a torus on a symplectic manifold. We are interested here in two global invariants: the Duistermaat-Heckman measure DH(M), and the Riemann-Roch chatacters RR(M,Lk),k>0, which are defined when the symplectic manifold is prequantized by a Kostant-Souriau line bundle L. We can associate to each connected component C of regular values of the moment map the following local invariants: the polynomial DHc which coincides with DH(M) on C, and the periodic polynomial mc which computes the multiplicity of RR(M,Lk), k>0, in the cone generated by C. The purpose of this paper is to compute the differences DHc - DHc' and mc - mc' when C and C' are two adjacent connected components of regular values of the moment map.
