Assume P is simple (each vertex is the intersection of n facets). Then P determines a dual simplicial complex, K = K ❇ P , of dimension n ✁ 1: Vertex set [ m ] = t 1 , . . . , m ✉ .

  3. T ORIC MANIFOLDS AND SMALL COVERS Let χ be an n -by- m matrix with coefficients in G = Z or Z 2 . χ is characteristic for P if, for each vertex v = F i 1 ❳ ☎ ☎ ☎ ❳ F i n , the n -by- n minor given by the columns i 1 , . . . , i n of χ is unimodular. Let T = S 1 if G = Z , and T = S 0 = t✟ 1 ✉ if G = Z 2 . Given q P P , let F ( q ) = F j 1 ❳ ☎ ☎ ☎ ❳ F j k be the maximal face so that q P F ( q ) ✆ . The map χ yields a subtorus T F ( q ) ✕ T k inside T n . To the pair ( P , χ ) , M. Davis and T. Januszkiewicz associate the toric manifold T n ✂ P / ✒ , where ( t , p ) ✒ ( u , q ) if p = q and t ☎ u ✁ 1 P T F ( q ) . For G = Z , this is a complex toric manifold, denoted M P ( χ ) : a closed, orientable manifold of dimension 2 n . For G = Z 2 , this is a real toric manifold (or, small cover ), denoted N P ( χ ) : a closed, not necessarily orientable manifold of dim n .

  5. T ORIC MANIFOLDS AND SMALL COVERS More generally, if X is a smooth, projective toric variety, then X ( C ) = M P ( χ ) and X ( R ) = N P ( χ mod 2 Z ) . But the converse does not hold: M = CP 2 ✼ CP 2 is a toric manifold over the square, but it does not admit any (almost) complex structure. Thus, M ✢ X ( C ) . If P is a 3-dim polytope with no triangular or quadrangular faces, then, by a theorem of Andreev, N P ( χ ) is a hyperbolic 3-manifold. (Characteristic χ exist for P = dodecahedron, by work of Garrison and Scott.) Then, by a theorem of Delaunay, N P ( χ ) ✢ X ( R ) . Davis and Januszkiewicz found presentations for the cohomology rings H ✝ ( M P ( χ ) , Z ) and H ✝ ( N P ( χ ) , Z 2 ) , similar to the ones given by Danilov and Jurkiewicz for toric varieties. In particular, dim Q H 2 i ( M P ( χ ) , Q ) = dim Z 2 H i ( N P ( χ ) , Z 2 ) = h i ( P ) , where ( h 0 ( P ) , . . . , h n ( P )) is the h -vector of P , depending only on the number of i -faces of P (0 ↕ i ↕ n ).

  6. T ORIC MANIFOLDS AND SMALL COVERS In joint work with Alvise Trevisan, we compute H ✝ ( N P ( χ ) , Q ) , both additively and multiplicatively. The (rational) Betti numbers of N P ( χ ) no longer depend just on the h -vector of P , but also on the characteristic matrix χ .

Idea: use finite covers involving (up to homotopy) certain generalized moment-angle complexes: � Z K ( D 1 , S 0 ) � N P ( χ ) , Z m ✁ n 2 � N P ( χ ) � Z K ( RP ✽ , ✝ ) .
