Hamiltonian torus actions on symplectic orbifolds and toric varieties

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In the first part of the paper, we build a foundation for further work on Hamiltonian actions on symplectic orbifolds. Most importantly, we prove the orbifold versions of the abelian connectedness and convexity theorems. In the second half, we prove that compact symplectic orbifolds with completely integrable torus actions are classified by convex simple rational polytopes with a positive integer attached to each open facet and that all such orbifolds are algebraic toric varieties.
