Homology cycles in manifolds with locally standard torus actions

Abstract: Let

X

be a

2 n

-manifold with a locally standard action of a compact torus

T^{n}

. If the free part of action is trivial and proper faces of the orbit space

Q

are acyclic, then there are three types of homology classes in

X

: (1) classes of face submanifolds; (2)

k

-dimensional classes of

Q

swept by actions of subtori of dimensions

< k

; (3) relative

k

-classes of

Q

modulo

p a r t i a l Q

swept by actions of subtori of dimensions

g e q s l a n t k

. The submodule of

H_{*} (X)

spanned by face classes is an ideal in

H_{*} (X)

with respect to the intersection product. It is isomorphic to

(m a t h b b Z [S_{Q}] / T h e t a) / W

, where

m a t h b b Z [S_{Q}]

is the face ring of the Buchsbaum simplicial poset

S_{Q}

dual to

Q

;

T h e t a

is the linear system of parameters determined by the characteristic function; and

W

is a certain submodule, lying in the socle of

m a t h b b Z [S_{Q}] / T h e t a

. Intersections of homology classes different from face submanifolds are described in terms of intersections on

Q

and

T^{n}

.
