Abstract

Let TT be a torus with the complexification TCT^{\mathbb{C}} and (X,ds2)(X, ds^{2}) a compact K\"{a}hler Hamiltonian TT-manifold with the moment map Φ\Phi such that TCT^{\mathbb{C}} acts on XX holomorphically. For each α\alpha in the moment body Φ(X)\Phi(X), the K\"{a}hler quotient Xα=Φ1(α)/TX_{\alpha}=\Phi^{-1}(\alpha)/T is a reduced normal complex analytic space admitting a unique K\"{a}hler structure κα\kappa_{\alpha} induced from ds2ds^{2}. Inspired by the theory of variation of Geometric Invariant Theory, when α\alpha moves from a subpolytope (a connected component of the set of regular values of Φ\Phi) to another one in the interior of Φ(X)\Phi(X), we show that the quotient XαX_{\alpha} undergoes a bimeromorphic transformation, and this enables us to compare the K\"{a}hler classes of the different quotients. In particular, as applications, we prove that each nondegenerate singular K\"{a}hler quotient has a partial and rational desingularisation which is obtained by shifting the moment map; moreover, we obtain a formula on the Riemann--Roch numbers of singular K\"{a}hler quotients.
