On the \(K\)-theory of toric stack bundles (Q609468)

The authors study simplicial toric stack bundles in the sense of [Ill. J. Math. 52, No. 2, 493--514 (2008; Zbl 1231.14002)]. These are bundles over a smooth base variety \(B\) with toric Deligne-Mumfors stacks [cf. \textit{L. A. Borisov, L. Chen} and \textit{G. G. Smith}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 18, No. 1, 193--215 (2005; Zbl 1178.14057)] as fibers. They compute the \(K\)-theory ring of toric stack bundles and show that there exists a Chern character isomorphism from the \(K\)- theory of the toric stack bundle to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology ring. In the last section they study the example of the \(K\)-theory ring of finite abelian gerbes over smooth varieties.
