Jul 12, 2022 at 13:48 comment added Filip Hmm, maybe it still works: given a non-trivial element $t \in S^1,$ the spectrum of $t_y$ consists of a discrete set $\{t^{w_i} \mid w_i \text{ are weights on }y\}$ so one cannot "jump" from one set of weights to an another, while on a path from $y$ to $y'.$ Thus I would still think that the weight decomposition is uniform on a path component $F_\alpha,$ even in the case of smooth actions. And possibly even compactness of $F_\alpha$ is not important. Then the eigenspaces $E_k=ker(t^k \cdot I - t_y)$ are smooth in $y$ hence constitute bundles, for each $k$ that appears as a weight.
Jul 12, 2022 at 13:14 comment added abx Yes, the argument definitely uses the holomorphicity, and also the compactness. I would guess that the result does not hold in the smooth category, though I don't see an obvious counter-example.
Jul 11, 2022 at 20:42 comment added Filip Does this decomposition of the tangent bundle generalises to a compact Lie group action on a smooth manifold? The decomposition of a tangent space according to characters is just representation theory so generalises easily, but the continuation argument from the answer above uses the holomorphicity...
