Simple non-rational convex polytopes via symplectic geometry (Q5954108)

In this paper the author considers quasifolds which are a generalization of manifolds and orbifolds. Quasifolds of dimension \(k\) are spaces locally isomorphic to the quotient of the space \(\mathbb{R}^k\) by the action of a discrete group. Typically quasifolds are not Hausdorff topological spaces. The analogue of a torus in this geometry is a quasitorus, which is the quotient of a vector space by a quasilattice. The author defines Hamiltonian actions of a quasitorus on symplectic quasifolds and proves that any simple convex polytope, rational or not, is the image of the moment mapping for a family of effective Hamiltonian actions on symplectic quasifolds of dimension twice the dimension of the corresponding quasitorus.
