Big Polygon Spaces
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study a new class of compact orientable manifolds, called big polygon spaces. They are intersections of real quadrics and related to polygon spaces, which appear as their fixed point set under a canonical torus action. What makes big polygon spaces interesting is that they exhibit remarkable new features in equivariant cohomology: The Chang-Skjelbred sequence can be exact for them and the equivariant Poincare pairing perfect although their equivariant cohomology is never free as a module over the cohomology ring of BT. More generally, big polygon spaces show that a certain bound on the syzygy order of the equivariant cohomology of compact orientable T-manifolds obtained by Allday, Puppe and the author is sharp.
