Cohomology of torus manifold bundles

Let X be a 2n-dimensional torus manifold with a locally standard T ≅ (S1)n action whose orbit space is a homology polytope. Smooth complete complex toric varieties and quasitoric manifolds are examples of torus manifolds. Consider a principal T-bundle p : E → B and let π : E(X) → B be the associated torus manifold bundle. We give a presentation of the singular cohomology ring of E(X) as a H*(B)-algebra and the topological K-ring of E(X) as a K*(B)-algebra with generators and relations. These generalize the results in [17] and [19] when the base B = pt. These also extend the results in [20], obtained in the case of a smooth projective toric variety, to any smooth complete toric variety.

Topological rigidity of quasitoric manifolds

Quasitoric manifolds are manifolds that admit an action of the torus that is locally the same as the standard action of $T^n$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$. It is known that the quotients of such actions are nice manifolds with corners. We prove that a class of locally standard manifolds, that contains the quasitoric manifolds, is equivariantly rigid, i.e., that any manifold that is $T^n$-homotopy equivalent to a quasitoric manifold is $T^n$-homeomorphic to it.

Oriented cobordism of \(\CP^{2k+1}\)

We give a new construction of oriented manifold having the boundary \(\CP^{2k+1}\) for each \(k \geq 0\). The main tool is the theory of quasitoric manifolds.

Strong cohomological rigidity of toric varieties

Every cohomology ring isomorphism between two non-singular complete toric varieties (respectively, two quasitoric manifolds), with second Betti number 2, is realizable by a diffeomorphism (respectively, homeomorphism).
