Abstract: The goal of this paper is to classify symplectic toric stratified spaces with isolated singularities. This extends a result of Burns, Guillemin, and Lerman which carries out this classification in the compact connected case. In making this classification, it is necessary to classify symplectic toric cones. Via a well-known equivalence between symplectic toric cones and contact toric manifolds, this allows for the classification of contact toric manifolds as well, extending Lerman's classification of compact connected contact toric manifolds.


In symplectic geometry, a theorem by Delzant shows that compact connected toric symplectic manifolds can be completely classified by the images of their moment maps. This classification theorem has been extensively generalized to various cases, such as toric symplectic orbifolds, toric contact manifolds, and toric symplectic stacks, and so on. In their paper [\textit{D. M. Burns} et al., J. Symplectic Geom. 3, No. 4, 531--543 (2005; Zbl 1120.53051)], Burns-Guillemin-Lerman introduced the notion of symplectic stratified space with isolated singularities. Moreover, they classified the compact connected symplectic toric stratified spaces by the images of their moment maps, which generalizes Delzant's theorem to stratified spaces. In the paper under review, the author proved a classification theorem for toric symplectic stratified spaces with isolated singularities which extends Burns-Guillemin-Lerman's result from four aspects: \begin{itemize} \item [(1)] the compactness condition is not necessary in the classification theorem; \item [(2)] the spaces are not necessarily connected; \item [(3)] the author dropped the assumption that the links of the isolated singularities are not spheres; \item [(4)] the assumption that links have convex moment images is not required. \end{itemize}
