%0 Journal Article %T Norm minima in certain Siegel leaves %A Li Cai %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.2140/agt.2015.15.445 %X In this paper we shall illustrate that each polytopal moment-angle complex can be understood as the intersection of the minima of corresponding Siegel leaves and the unit sphere, with respect to the maximum norm. Consequently, an alternative proof of a rigidity theorem of Bosio and Meersseman is obtained; as piecewise linear manifolds, polytopal real moment-angle complexes can be smoothed in a natural way. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.1575v4
