Abstract: We give formulae for the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology for the orbifolds given by a Bianchi group acting on complex hyperbolic 3-space. The Bianchi groups are the arithmetic groups PSL_2(A), where A is the ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic number field. The underlying real orbifolds which help us in our study, given by the action of a Bianchi group on real hyperbolic 3-space (which is a model for its classifying space for proper actions), have applications in physics.We then prove that, for any such orbifold, its Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology ring is isomorphic to the usual cohomology ring of any crepant resolution of its coarse moduli space.By vanishing of the quantum corrections, we show that this result fits in with Ruan's Cohomological Crepant Resolution Conjecture.


For a square-free positive integer \(m\) let \(\mathcal O_{-m}\) be the ring of integers in the imaginary quadratic number field \(\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-m})\) and let \(\Gamma=\text{PSL}_2(\mathcal O_{-m})\) be the corresponding Bianchi group. \(\Gamma\) acts naturally on the real hyperbolic three-space \(\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb R}\) and also its complexification \(\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb C}\) and so one defines the orbifolds \([\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb R}/\Gamma]\) and \([\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb C}/\Gamma]\). The latter is called a complexified Bianchi orbifold. The paper under review computes the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of the complexified Bianchi orbifolds. In the case that \(\pm 1\) are the only units in \(\mathcal O_{-m}\) this result can be summarized as \[H^d_{\text{CR}}([\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb C}/\Gamma])=H^d(\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb R}/\Gamma;\mathbb Q) \oplus \begin{cases}\mathbb Q^{\lambda_4+2\lambda_6-\lambda_6^*} & d=2\\ \mathbb Q^{\lambda_4-\lambda^*_4+2\lambda_6-\lambda_6^*} & d=3\\ 0 & \text{otherwise,} \end{cases}\] where \(\lambda_{2n}\) is the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups of order \(n\) in \(\Gamma\) and \(\lambda^*_{2n}\) is the number of conjugacy classes of those of them which are contained in a dihedral subgroup of order \(2n\) in \(\Gamma\). The cohomology of the quotient space \(\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb R}/\Gamma\) has been computed numerically elsewhere for a large scope of Bianchi groups. The paper under review also finds the Chen-Ruan cup product and proves the cohomological crepant resolution conjecture: if \(Y\to \mathcal H^3_{\mathbb C}/\Gamma\) is a crepant resolution then there is an isomorphism as graded \(\mathbb Q\)-algebras between the Chen-Ruan cohomology ring of \([\mathcal H^3_{\mathbb C}/\Gamma]\) and the the singular cohomology ring of \(Y\).
