Abstract: A $ G$-equivariant spin$ ^c$-structure on a manifold gives rise to a virtual representation of the group $ G$, called the spin$ ^c$-quantization of the manifold. We present a cutting construction for $ S^1$-equivariant spin$ ^c$-manifolds and show that the quantization of the original manifold is isomorphic to the direct sum of the quantizations of the cut spaces. Our proof uses Kostant-type formulas, which express the quantization in terms of local data around the fixed point set of the $ S^1$-action.
