Abstract: For any (n+1)-dimensional weight vector {chi} of positive integers, the weighted projective space P(chi) is a projective toric variety, and has orbifold singularities in every case other than CP^n. We study the algebraic topology of P(chi), paying particular attention to its localisation at individual primes p. We identify certain p-primary weight vectors {pi} for which P(pi) is homeomorphic to an iterated Thom space over S^2, and discuss how any P(chi) may be reconstructed from its p-primary factors. We express Kawasaki's computations of the integral cohomology ring H^*(P(chi);Z) in terms of iterated Thom isomorphisms, and recover Al Amrani's extension to complex K-theory. Our methods generalise to arbitrary complex oriented cohomology algebras E^*(P(chi)) and their dual homology coalgebras E_*(P(chi)), as we demonstrate for complex cobordism theory (the universal example). In particular, we describe a fundamental class in Omega^U_{2n}(P(chi)), which may be interpreted as a resolution of singularities.

Review text

From the summary: ``For any weight vector \(\chi\) of positive integers, the weighted projective space \(\mathbf{P}(\chi)\) is a projective toric variety, and has orbifold singularities in every case other than standard projective space. Our principal aim is to study the algebraic topology of \(\mathbf{P}(\chi)\), paying particular attention to its localisation at individual primes \(p\). We identify certain \(p\)-primary weight vectors \(\pi\) for which \(\mathbf{P}(\pi)\) is homeomorphic to an iterated Thom space, and discuss how any weighted projective space may be reassembled from its \(p\)-primary parts. The resulting Thom isomorphisms provide an alternative to Kawasaki's calculation of the cohomology ring of \(\mathbf{P}(\chi)\), and allow us to recover Al Amrani's extension to complex \(K\)-theory. Our methods generalise to arbitrary complex oriented cohomology algebras and their dual homology coalgebras, as we demonstrate for complex cobordism theory, the universal example. In particular, we describe a fundamental class that belongs to the complex bordism coalgebra of \(\mathbf{P}(\chi)\), and may be interpreted as a resolution of singularities.
