Abstract: We present some classification results for quasitoric manifolds (M) with (p_1(M)=-sum a_i^2) for some (a_iin H^2(M)) which admit an action of a compact connected Lie-group (G) such that (dim M/G leq 1). In contrast to Kuroki's work we do not require that the action of (G) extends the torus action on (M).

Review text

Quasitoric manifolds are certain \(2n\)--dimensional manifolds on which an \(n\)--dimensional torus acts such that the orbit space of this action may be identified with a simple convex polytope [\textit{M. W. Davis} and \textit{T. Januszkiewicz}, Duke Math. J. 62, No. 2, 417--451 (1991; Zbl 0733.52006)]. {Theorem:} Let \(M\) be a quasitoric manifold with \(p_1(M) = - \sum a_i^a\) for some \(a_i \in H^2(M,\mathbb Q)\) which is homeomorphic (diffeomorphic) to a homogeneous space \(G/H\) with \(G\) a compact Lie group. Then \(M\) is homeomorphic (diffeomorphic) to \(\prod S^2\). In particular, all Pontrjagin classes of \(M\) vanish. {Theorem:} Let \(M\) be a quasitoric manifold with \(p_1(M) = - \sum a_i^a\) for some \(a_i \in H^2(M,\mathbb Q)\). Assume that the compact connected Lie group \(G\) acts smoothly and almost effectively on \(M\) such that \(\dim M/G = 1\). Then \(G\) has a finite covering group of the form \(\prod SU(2)\) of \(\prod SU(2) \times S^1\). Furthermore \(M\) is diffeomorphic to a \(S^2\)--bundle over a product of two--spheres.
