Orbifold cohomology of torus quotients (Q2642229)

From the abstract: We introduce the \textit{inertial cohomology ring} \(NH^*_T(Y)\) of a stably almost complex manifold carrying an action of a torus \(T\). We show that in the case that \(Y\) has a locally free action by \(T\), the inertial cohomology ring is isomorphic to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology ring \(H_{CR}^*(Y/T)\) of the quotient orbifold \(Y/T\). For \(Y\) a compact Hamiltonian \(T\)-space, we extend to orbifold cohomology two techniques that are standard in ordinary cohomology. We show that \(NH^*_T(Y)\) has a natural ring surjection onto \(H_{CR}^*(Y//T)\), where \(Y//T\) is the symplectic reduction of \(Y\) by \(T\) at a regular value of the moment map. We extend to \(NH^*_T(Y)\) the graphical GKM calculus (as detailed in e.g. \textit{M. Harada, A. Henriques} and \textit{T. S. Holm} [Adv. Math. 197, No. 1, 198--221 (2005; Zbl 1110.55003)]), and the kernel computations of \textit{S. Tolman} and \textit{J. Weitsman} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 11, No. 4, 751--773 (2003; Zbl 1087.53076)] and \textit{R. F. Goldin} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 12, No. 3, 567--583 (2002; Zbl 1033.53072)]. We detail this technology in two examples: toric orbifolds and weight varieties, which are symplectic reductions of flag manifolds. The Chen-Ruan ring has been computed for toric orbifolds, with \(\mathbb Q\) coefficients, in \textit{L. A. Borisov} and \textit{L. Chen} and \textit{G. G. Smith} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 18, No. 1, 193--215 (2005; Zbl 1178.14057)]; symplectic toric orbifolds obtained by reduction by a connected torus (though with different computational methods), and extend them to \(\mathbb Z\) coefficients in certain cases, including weighted projective spaces.
