Simplicial Cohomology of Orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
For any orbifold M, we explicitly construct a simplicial complex S(M) from a given triangulation of the ‘coarse’ underlying space together with the local isotropy groups of M. We prove that, for any local system on M, this complex S(M) has the same cohomology as M. The use of S(M) in explicit calculations is illustrated in the example of the ‘teardrop’ orbifold.

Digital Borsuk-Ulam theorem
The aim of this paper is to compute a simplicial cohomology group of some specific digital images. Then we define ringand algebra structures of a digital cohomology with the cup product. Finally, we prove a special case of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem fordigital images.
متن کاملDigital cohomology groups of certain minimal surfaces
In this study, we compute simplicial cohomology groups with different coefficients of a connected sum of certain minimal simple surfaces by using the universal coefficient theorem for cohomology groups. The method used in this paper is a different way to compute digital cohomology groups of minimal simple surfaces. We also prove some theorems related to degree properties of a map on digital sph...
متن کاملSimplicial Cohomology of Smooth Orbifolds in GAP
This short research announcement briefly describes the simplicial method underlying the GAP package SCO for computing the socalled orbifold cohomology of topological resp. smooth orbifolds. SCO can be used to compute the lower dimensional group cohomology of some infinite groups. Instead of giving a complete formal definition of an orbifold, we start with a simple construction, general enough t...
متن کاملConnected Sums of Simplicial Complexes and Equivariant Cohomology
Abstract In this paper, we introduce the notion of a connected sum K1 #Z K2 of simplicial complexes K1 and K2, as well as define a strong connected sum. Geometrically, the connected sum is motivated by Lerman’s symplectic cut applied to a toric orbifold, and algebraically, it is motivated by the connected sum of rings introduced by Ananthnarayan–Avramov–Moore [1]. We show that the Stanley–Reisn...
متن کاملThe Chen-ruan Cohomology of Almost Contact Orbifolds
Comparing to the Chen-Ruan cohomology theory for the almost complex orbifolds, we study the orbifold cohomology theory for almost contact orbifolds. We define the Chen-Ruan cohomology group of any almost contact orbifold. Using the methods for almost complex orbifolds (see [2]), we define the obstruction bundle for any 3-multisector of the almost contact orbifolds and the Chen-Ruan cup product ...
