Abstract: Let $R$ be a positively graded finitely generated $extbfk$-domain with Krull dimension $d+1$. We show that there is a homogeneous valuation $mathfrakv:Rsetminus0omathbb{Z}^d$ of rank $d$ such that the associated graded $ext{gr}_{m}athfrakv(R)$ is finitely generated. This then implies that any polarized $d$-dimensional projective variety $X$ has a flat deformation over $mathbb{A}^1$, with reduced and irreducible fibers, to a polarized projective complexity-one $T$-variety (i.e. a variety with a faithful action of a $(d-1)$-dimensional torus $T$). As an application we conclude that any $d$-dimensional complex smooth projective variety $X$ equipped with an integral K"ahler form has a proper $(d-1)$-dimensional Hamiltonian torus action on an open dense subset that extends continuously to all of $X$.
