Holomorphic orbidiscs and Lagrangian Floer cohomology of symplectic toric orbifolds

We develop Floer theory of Lagrangian torus fibers in compact symplectic toric orbifolds. We first classify holomorphic orbi-discs with boundary on Lagrangian torus fibers. We show that there exists a class of basic discs such that we have one-to-one correspondences between a) smooth basic discs and facets of the moment polytope, and b) between basic orbi-discs and twisted sectors of the toric orbifold. We show that there is a smooth Lagrangian Floer theory of these torus fibers, which has a bulk-deformation by fundamental classes of twisted sectors of the toric orbifold. We show by several examples that such bulk-deformation can be used to illustrate the very rigid Hamiltonian geometry of orbifolds. We define its potential and bulk-deformed potential, and develop the notion of leading order potential. We study leading term equations analogous to the case of toric manifolds by Fukaya, Oh, Ohta and Ono.

Almost complex structure, blowdowns and McKay correspondence in quasitoric orbifolds

We prove the existence of invariant almost complex structure on any positively omnioriented quasitoric orbifold. We construct blowdowns. We define Chen-Ruan cohomology ring for any omnioriented quasitoric orbifold. We prove that the Euler characteristic of this cohomology is preserved by a crepant blowdown. We prove that the Betti numbers are also preserved if dimension is less or equal to six. In particular, our work reveals a new form of McKay correspondence for orbifold toric varieties that are not Gorenstein. We illustrate with an example.

Chen-Ruan cohomology of some moduli spaces, II

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. Let r be a prime number and ξa holomorphic line bundle on it such that r is not a divisor of degree(ξ). Let {\mathcal M}_ξ(r) denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles over X of rank r and determinant ξ. By Γwe will denote the group of line bundles L over X such that $L^{\otimes r}$ is trivial. This group Γacts on {\mathcal M}_ξ(r). We compute the Chen-Ruan cohomology of the corresponding orbifold.

On Quasitoric Orbifolds

Quasitoric spaces were introduced by Davis and Januskiewicz in their 1991 Duke paper. There they extensively studied topological invariants of quasitoric manifolds. These manifolds are generalizations or topological counterparts of nonsingular projective toric varieties. In this article we study structures and invariants of quasitoric orbifolds. In particular, we discuss equivalent definitions and determine the orbifold fundamental group, rational homology groups and cohomology ring of a quasitoric orbifold. We determine whether any quasitoric orbifold can be the quotient of a smooth manifold by a finite group action or not. We prove existence of stable almost complex structure and describe the Chen-Ruan cohomology groups of an almost complex quasitoric orbifold.

Chen--Ruan cohomology of some moduli spaces

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. We compute the Chen--Ruan cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable PSL(2, C)--bundles of nontrivial second Stiefel--Whitney class over X.

Homologous Non-isotopic Symplectic Surfaces of Higher Genus

We construct an infinite family of homologous, non-isotopic, symplectic surfaces of any genus greater than one in a certain class of closed, simply connected, symplectic four-manifolds. Our construction is the first example of this phenomenon for surfaces of genus greater than one.

The Chen-Ruan Cohomology Ring of Mirror Quintic

We compute the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology ring of the Batyrev mirror orbifold of a smooth quintic hypersurface in 4-dimensional projective space. We identify the obstruction bundle for this example by using the Riemann bilinear relations for periods. We outline a general method of computing the Chen-Ruan ring for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective simplicial toric varieties, modulo a conjecture that the Riemann bilinear relations are adequate for identifying the obstruction bundle for any complex orbifold.

Orbifold Hodge Numbers of Calabi-Yau Hypersurfaces

We identify the twisted sectors of a compact simplicial toric variety. We do the same for a generic nondegenerate Calabi-Yau hypersurface of an $n$-dimensional simplicial Fano toric variety and then explicitly compute $h^{1,1}_{orb}$ and $h^{n-2,1}_{orb}$ for the hypersurface. We give applications to the orbifold string theory conjecture and orbifold mirror symmetry.
