Questions about cobordism of symplectic and toric manifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 Toric varieties are by now familiar objects in algebraic geometry, but this note is concerned with variations on that theme, and I will try to be careful about terminology. A toric variety is a kind of orbifold, and hence has mild singularities, but I will use the term toric manifold in the sense of Davis and Januszkiewicz [4]; a smooth toric variety thus has an underlying toric manifold, but toric manifolds form a slightly more general class.

Cobordism of symplectic manifolds and asymptotic expansions
The cobordism ring B∗ of symplectic manifolds defined by V. L. Ginzburg is isomorphic to the Pontrjagin ring of complex-oriented manifolds with free circle actions. This provides an interpretation of the formal group law of complex cobordism as a composition-law on certain asymptotic expansions. An appendix discusses some related questions about toric manifolds.
متن کاملSymplectic Origami
An origami manifold is a manifold equipped with a closed 2-form which is symplectic except on a hypersurface where it is like the pullback of a symplectic form by a folding map and its kernel fibrates with oriented circle fibers over a compact base. We can move back and forth between origami and symplectic manifolds using cutting (unfolding) and radial blow-up (folding), modulo compatibility co...
متن کاملToric Topology and Complex Cobordism
We plan to discuss how the ideas and methodology of Toric Topology can be applied to one of the classical subjects of algebraic topology: finding nice representatives in complex cobordism classes. Toric and quasitoric manifolds are the key players in the emerging field of Toric Topology, and they constitute a sufficiently wide class of stably complex manifolds to additively generate the whole c...
متن کاملToric symplectic ball packing
We define and solve the toric version of the symplectic ball packing problem, in the sense of listing all 2n-dimensional symplectic–toric manifolds which admit a perfect packing by balls embedded in a symplectic and torus equivariant fashion. In order to do this we first describe a problem in geometric–combinatorics which is equivalent to the toric symplectic ball packing problem. Then we solve...
متن کاملSymplectic Toric Manifolds
Foreword These notes cover a short course on symplectic toric manifolds, delivered in six lectures at the summer school on Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems, mostly for graduate students, held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona in July of 2001. The goal of this course is to provide a fast elementary introduction to toric manifolds (i.e., smooth toric varieties)...
