Audit review
The paper establishes a folded action–angle theorem (Theorem 14) and derives the normal form ω = τ dθ1 ∧ dτ + ∑_{i=2}^n dθi ∧ dσ_i around a regular Liouville torus inside the folding hypersurface Z, via period-uniformization, an equivariant relative Poincaré lemma, and a folded Darboux–Carathéodory theorem; see the statement (Theorem 14) and the concluding normal form in the proof, as well as the supporting lemmas (Proposition 10, Theorem 11) . The candidate solution produces the same normal form by an Arnold–Liouville style argument: constructing a local T^n-action, using closed/basic 1-forms ι_{Y_i}ω to define base functions, identifying g1 = ½τ^2, and canceling a basic 2-form remainder by a base-dependent angle shift. The approach is correct and matches the paper's result, though it sketches (rather than proves) the period uniformization and the isotropy/basicness needed to ensure ι_{Y_j}ι_{Y_i}ω = 0 across Z (handled carefully in the paper via the uniformization construction and averaging) .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field
\textbf{Justification:}
The work delivers a clear folded action–angle theorem with a precise local model around Liouville tori inside the fold. The proof blends standard tools with careful adaptations to the folded context and appears correct. Minor clarifications (especially for the period uniformization and the invariance/averaging step) would further strengthen readability, but the core contributions are solid and valuable.
