A convexity theorem for torus actions on contact manifolds (Q1850236)

The main result of the paper is the following: Theorem. Let \((M,\xi)\) be a co-oriented compact, connected contact manifold with an effective action of a torus \(T^n= G\), \(n> 2\). Let \(\xi^0_+\) be a component of the annihilator of \(\xi\) in \(T^*M\) minus the zero section: \(\xi^0\setminus 0= \xi^0_+\sqcup (-\xi^0_+)\). If \(0\) is not in the image of the contact moment map \(\psi: \xi^0_+\to g^*\) then the fibers of \(\psi\) are connected and the moment cone \(C(\psi)= \psi(\xi^0_+)\cup \{0\}\) is a convex rational polyhedral one. Recall that a polyhedral set in \(g^*\) is the intersection of finitely many closed half-spaces. It is rational if the annihilators of codimension one spaces are spanned by vectors in the integral lattice \(\mathbb{Z}_G\) of \(g\).
