Cellular chain complex of small covers with integer coefficients and its application

From MaRDI portal





A small cover is an \(n\)-dimensional manifold \(M\) with an effective action of \((\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^n\) such that the orbit space is an \(n\)-dimensional simple convex polytope. In the paper under review some of the homology groups with integer coefficients of a small cover are computed. As a result the homology of a \(3\)-dimensional small cover contains only \(2\)-torsion and elements of infinite order. However, for higher dimensional small covers the results of this paper are incomplete. \par Note that an alternative approach to the problem of computing the integer homology of a small cover with more complete results has been given by \textit{L. Cai} and \textit{S. Choi} [``Integral cohomology groups of real toric manifolds and small covers, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1604.06988}].
