The foundations of (2n,k)-manifolds

Abstract: In the focus of our paper is a system of axioms that serves as a basis for introducing structural data for

(2 n, k)

-manifolds

M^{2 n}

, where

M^{2 n}

is a smooth, compact

2 n

-dimensional manifold with a smooth effective action of the

k

-dimensional torus

T^{k}

. In terms of these data a construction of the model space

m a t h f r a k E

with an action of the torus

T^{k}

is given, such that there exists a

T^{k}

-equivariant homeomorphism

m a t h f r a k E o M^{2 n}

. This homeomorphism induces a homeomorphism

m a t h f r a k E / T^{k} o M^{2 n} / T^{k}

. The number

d = n - k

is called the complexity of an

(2 n, k)

-manifold. Our theory comprises toric geometry and toric topology, where

d = 0

. It is shown that the class of homogeneous spaces

G / H

of compact Lie groups, where rk

G =

rk

H

, contains

(2 n, k)

-manifolds that have non zero complexity. The results are demonstrated on the complex Grassmann manifolds

G_{k + 1, q}

with an effective action of the torus

T^{k}

.
