چکیده

We show that Chen-Ruan cohomology is a homotopy invariant in certain cases. We introduce the notion of a T -representation homotopy which is a stringent form of homotopy under which Chen-Ruan cohomology is invariant. We show that while hyperkähler quotients of T C by S (here termed weighted hyperprojective spaces) are homotopy equivalent to weighted projective spaces, they are not S-representation homotopic. Indeed, we show that their Chen-Ruan cohomology rings (over Q) are distinct.

The Chen-ruan Orbifold Cohomology of Weighted Projective Spaces

Chen and Ruan [6] defined a very interesting cohomology theoryChen-Ruan orbifold cohomology. The primary objective of this paper is to compute the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of the weighted projective spaces, one of the most important space used in physics. The classical tools (orbifold cohomology defined by Chen and Ruan, toric varieties, the localization technique) which have been proved t...

The Quantum Orbifold Cohomology of Weighted Projective Space

We calculate the small quantum orbifold cohomology of arbitrary weighted projective spaces. We generalize Givental’s heuristic argument, which relates small quantum cohomology to S-equivariant Floer cohomology of loop space, to weighted projective spaces and use this to conjecture an explicit formula for the small J-function, a generating function for certain genuszero Gromov–Witten invariants....

On the algebraic topology of weighted projective spaces

From the viewpoint of algebraic topology, a quasitoric orbifold is a singular space that is constructed out of a simple polytope and a related integral matrix, and admits a well-behaved torus action. Weighted projective spaces P(χ) provide a particularly illuminating class of examples (where χ denotes a weight vector of natural numbers), but their topological literature is remarkably sparse. Ou...

We prove the homotopy invariance of L torsion for covering spaces, whenever the covering transformation group is either residually finite or amenable. In the case when the covering transformation group is residually finite and when the L cohomology of the covering space vanishes, the homotopy invariance was established by Lück [Lu]. We also give some applications of our results.

Etale Cohomology of Rigid Analytic Spaces

The paper serves as an introduction to etale cohomology of rigid analytic spaces. A number of basic results are proved, e.g. concerning cohomological dimension, base change, invariance for change of base elds, the homotopy axiom and comparison for etale cohomology of algebraic varieties. The methods are those of classical rigid analytic geometry and along the way a number of known results on ri...
