The symplectic structure of a toric conic transform

Suppose that a compact r-dimensional torus Tr acts in a holomorphic and Hamiltonian manner on polarized complex d-dimensional projective manifold M, with nowhere vanishing moment map Φ. Assuming that Φ is transverse to the ray through a given weight ν, associated to these data there is a complex (d−r+1)-dimensional polarized projective orbifold Mˆν (referred to as the ν-th conic transform of M). Namely, Mˆν is a suitable quotient of the inverse image of the ray in the unit circle bundle of the polarization of M. With the aim to clarify the geometric significance of this construction, we consider the special case where M is toric, and show that Mˆν is itself a Kähler toric obifold, whose (marked) moment polytope is obtained from the one of M by a certain 'transform' operation (depending on Φ and ν).
