Abstract
In this paper we study effective actions of the compact torus on smooth compact manifolds of even dimension with isolated fixed points. It is proved that under certain conditions on the weight vectors of the tangent representation, the orbit space of such an action is a manifold with corners. In the case of Hamiltonian actions, the orbit space is homotopy equivalent to , the complement to the union of disjoint open subsets of the -sphere. The results obtained are applied to regular Hessenberg varieties and isospectral manifolds of Hermitian matrices of step type. Bibliography: 23 titles.
