In this paper, we present a necessary condition for a non-singular projective variety with an effective algebraic torus action of positive complexity with isolated fixed points to be a toric variety. The method is based on the monodromy map on the weight hypergraph associated with the torus action. The introduced notion of a weight hypergraph generalises the GKM-graph in the case of a torus action satisfying all axioms from the definition of a GKM-manifold, except 2-linear independence of weights at fixed points. We apply this method to the generalised Buchstaber-Ray varieties BR i , j ⊂ BF i × P j , i , j 0, as well as the Ray's varieties R i , j ⊂ BF i × BF j and give a full list of toric varieties among them. The importance of the varieties R i , j is due to the problem of representatives in the unitary bordism ring in the family of quasitoric TTS-and TNS-manifolds. Also in this paper the automorphism group Aut H i , j is computed for the Milnor hypersurface H i , j ⊂ P i × P j . As a corollary, any effective action of (S 1 ) k on the Milnor hypersurface H i , j preserving the natural complex structure has k max {i , j }. * (0 i j ). However, BR i,j are not TNS-manifolds, generally speaking. In [7], the diamond sum operation was introduced, in order to replace a disjoint union of two quasitoric manifolds (in sense of [13]) by a complex bordant quasitoric manifold. As a corollary ([7]), in any class x ∈ Ω U 2n a quasitoric representative was constructed from the Buchstaber-Ray varieties, n > 1. It remained unknown whether R i,j are toric varieties. The importance of this question is due to the problem of representatives of the complex bordism ring Ω U * in the family of quasitoric TTS-and TNS-manifolds. This problem was completely solved in [25], by constructing a family of toric TTS-and TNS-manifolds whose bordism classes multiplicatively generate the ring Ω U * . However, this construction is rather involved. On the other hand, if R i,j would be toric varieties, then they form a family of toric TTS-and TNS-generators of Ω U * , which is simpler to describe. This provides a motivation to study torus actions on the aforementioned varieties.The Picard group Pic(BF i × BF j ) is isomorhic to H 2 (BF i × BF j ; Z) (see [21, p.127, §15.9]). It implies that the first Chern class c 1 (β i ⊗ β ′ j ) does not belong to the cone of effective classes (spanned by maximal torus-invariant effective divisors of the toric variety), hence it is not represented by any non-singular closed subvariety of codimension 1 in X (see [9]). This justifies our choice of the linear bundle β i ⊗ β ′ j on BF i × BF j . The choice of the particular variety R i,j among all possible dualisations of β i ⊗ β ′ j on BF i × BF j is due to its relation to the well-known MilnorThe publication has been prepared with the support of the "RUDN University Program 5-100" and by the grant of "Young mathematics of Russia" foundation.
