TITLE: Are the closures of the tori in the decomposition of a torified variety toric varieties?
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: In "Torified varieties and their geometries over $\mathbb{F}_1$", J. L. Pena and O. Lorscheid define a torified variety as a variety $X$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ along with a family of locally closed subvarieties $T_i \cong \mathbb{G}_m^{r_i}$ isomorphic to algebraic tori such that $\bigsqcup_{i \in I} T_i(K) = X(K)$ for every algebraically closed field $K$. I'm trying to prove that $\Omega_{\overline{T_i}}^1(\text{log}D_i)$, the differential forms on $\overline{T_i}$ with logarithmic poles along $D_i = \overline{T_i} \setminus T_i$, is trivial for each $T_i$. I'm actually not sure if this is true but that's my hope. A similar result is true for toric varieties. If $Y$ is a toric variety with open orbit $B$, then $\Omega_{Y}^1(\text{log}(Y \setminus B))$ is trivial (proven in "Toric varieties" by Fulton, pg 87). 
My specific question is this: are the $\overline{T_i}$ in $X$ toric varieties? I know this would be true if the action of $T_i$ on itself extended to an action of $T_i$ on $\overline{T_i}$ but I'm not sure if this is possible in general or if not when this is possible. Thanks so much for the help!
Edit: For completeness, the definition of toric variety I'm using is a variety $X$ with an  open dense subset $B$ isomorphic to a torus such that the action of $B$ on itself extends to $X$. Thus since each $T_i$ above is locally closed by assumption, then it is an open dense subsets of $\overline{T_i}$ so I only need to guarantee that the action of $T_i$ on itself extends to the closure. 
Edit 2: I'll rephrase my question in a more general way so that it maybe easier to approach: if $X$ and $Y$ are varieties, $\overline{Y}$ is a closure of $Y$ such that the inclusion of $Y$ is an open immersion, and $f:X \times Y \to Y$ is a morphism, under what conditions if any does $f$ extend to a morphism $f_* : X \times \overline{Y} \to \overline{Y}$? Furthermore, does the special case of $X$ and $Y$ being a torus $T$, and $f$ being the map $T \times T \to T, \enspace (t,s) \mapsto ts$ as above satisfy these conditions?

REPLY [3 votes]: Sorry that I reply so late, I haven't been hanging much on MO recently.
The quick answer to your question is no, the closure of tori appearing in the torification are in general not toric varieties. If that was the case, every irreducible torified variety would be toric (as it would coincide with the closure of the unique dense torus in the torification), examples are for instance the Grassmannian $Gr(2,4)$ which is torified but not toric.
Now, what can actually help you with your problem is the following. You can initially restrict yourself to study regular torified varieties, where a torification is called regular if the closure of the tori are torified with (a subset of) the same torification: $\overline{T_i}=\bigsqcup_{j \leq i} T_j$ (where the ordering is simply "being in the closure of"). Under these conditions, the complement $\overline{T_i}\setminus T_i$ is again a torified variety (which might be disconnected, but it will surely be a disjoint union of torified varieties), with strictly smaller dimension than the one of $T_i$.
It is an open problem to decide whether every torified variety can be regularly torified, but so far in the examples we worked with we have been able to find regular torifications.
Your project sounds very interesting, I am looking forward to see what you come up with!
