Orbit spaces of torus actions on Hessenberg varieties

Publication date 6 May 2019

Abstract: We consider effective actions of a compact torus

T^{n - 1}

on an even-dimensional smooth manifold

M^{2 n}

with isolated fixed points. We prove that under certain conditions on weights of tangent representations, the orbit space is a manifold with corners. Given that the action is Hamiltonian, the orbit space is homeomorphic to

S^{n + 1} s e t m i n u s (U_{1} s q c u p l d o t s s q c u p U_{l})

where

S^{n + 1}

is the

(n + 1)

--sphere and

U_{1}, l d o t s, U_{l}

are open domains. We apply the results to regular Hessenberg varieties and manifolds of isospectral Hermitian matrices of staircase form.
