Given a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, we may choose a moment map $\mu \colon M\to \mathfrak{g}^* $ and obtain the symplectic reduction $M/\!\!/G = \mu^{-1}(0)/G$. This construction clearly depends on the choice of moment map. However, I wonder if it is still unique up to some sort of (very?) weak equivalence in the symplectic category?
Is the symplectic quotient $\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ unique up to something?
