Abstract: We consider the canonical action of the compact torus $T^4$ on the Grassmann manifold $G_{4,2}$ and prove that the orbit space $G_{4,2}/T^4$ is homeomorphic to the sphere $S^5$. We prove that the induced differentiable structure on $S^5$ is not the smooth one and describe the smooth and the singular points. We also consider the action of $T^4$ on $C{P}^5$ induced by the composition of the second symmetric power $T^{4}subset{T}^6$ and the standard action of $T^6$ on $C{P}^5$ and prove that the orbit space $C{P}^5/T^4$ is homeomorphic to the join $C{P}^{2}ast{S}^2$. The Pl"ucker embedding $G_{4,2}subsetC{P}^5$ is equivariant for these actions and induces embedding $C{P}^{1}ast{S}^{2}subsetC{P}^{2}ast{S}^2$ for the standard embedding $C{P}^{1}subsetC{P}^2$. All our constructions are compatible with the involution given by the complex conjugation and give the corresponding results for the real Grassmannian $G_{4,2}(R)$ and the real projective space $R{P}^5$ for the action of the group $Z_2^4$. We prove that the orbit space $G_{4,2}(R)/Z_2^4$ is homeomorphic to the sphere $S^4$ and that the orbit space $R{P}^5/Z_2^4$ is homeomorphic to the join $R{P}^{2}ast{S}^2$.
