Abstract: Let the compact torus Tn1 act on a smooth compact manifold X2n effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space X2n/Tn1 if the action is cohomologically equivariantly formal (which essentially means that Hodd(X2n;mathbbZ)=0). It happens that homology of the orbit space can be arbitrary in degrees 3 and higher. For any finite simplicial complex L we construct an equivariantly formal manifold X2n such that X2n/Tn1 is homotopy equivalent to Sigma3L. The constructed manifold X2n is the total space of the projective line bundle over the permutohedral variety hence the action on X2n is Hamiltonian and cohomologically equivariantly formal. We introduce the notion of the action in j-general position and prove that, for any simplicial complex M, there exists an equivariantly formal action of complexity one in j-general position such that its orbit space is homotopy equivalent to Sigmaj+2M.
