Topology of complexity one quotients

Yael Karshon and Susan Tolman

Vol. 308 (2020), No. 2, 333–346
Abstract

We describe of the topology of the geometric quotients of 2n-dimensional compact connected symplectic manifolds with (n1)-dimensional torus actions. When the isotropy weights at each fixed point are in general position, the quotient is homeomorphic to a sphere.
