Mutations of Fake Weighted Projective Spaces

Mutations of Fake Weighted Projective Spaces

We characterise mutations between fake weighted projective spaces, and give explicit formulas for how the weights and multiplicity change under mutation. In particular, we prove that multiplicity-preserving mutations between fake weighted projective spaces are mutations over edges of the corresponding simplices. As an application, we analyse the canonical and terminal fake weighted projective s...

Bounds on Fake Weighted Projective Space

A fake weighted projective space X is a Q-factorial toric variety with Picard number one. As with weighted projective space, X comes equipped with a set of weights (λ0, . . . , λn). We see how the singularities of P(λ0, . . . , λn) influence the singularities of X, and how the weights bound the number of possible fake weighted projective spaces for a fixed dimension. Finally, we present an uppe...

Geodesics on Weighted Projective Spaces

We study the inverse spectral problem for weighted projective spaces using wave-trace methods. We show that in many cases one can “hear” the weights of a weighted projective space.

All Finite Groups Act on Fake Complex Projective Spaces

We prove the result asserted in the title. The object of this note is to prove the assertion of its title in a slightly more precise form that shows that one can somewhat control the normal representation at a fixed point and that there is an infinite amount of choice for the rational Pontrjagin classes. This result is in sharp contrast to a conjecture of Ted Pétrie [5] that only homotopy CP"'s...
