Quotient space is, intuitively speaking, the result of identifying or "gluing together" certain points of a given topological space. The points to be identified are specified by an equivalence relation. This is commonly done in order to construct new spaces from given ones. The quotient topology consists of all sets with an open preimage under the canonical projection map that maps each element to its equivalence class.

Is the symplectic quotient $\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ unique up to something?

Given a Hamiltonian group action, moment maps may only differ by constant addition. So you seem to be comparing the reduced spaces at different levels. Let me state the two extreme cases. When $G$ is …
