Abstract

It is known that every Cr{\rm C}^r-orbifold, 1r1\leq r\leq\infty, has a compatible Cs{\rm C}^s-differential structure, for every ss, where r<sωr< s\leq\omega. We prove that if two reduced Cr{\rm C}^r-orbifolds, 2rω2\leq r\leq\omega, are C2{\rm C}^2-diffeomorphic, then they are Cr{\rm C}^r-diffeomorphic. It follows that the compatible Cs{\rm C}^s-differential structure on a reduced Cr{\rm C}^r-orbifold, 2r<sω2\leq r<s\leq\omega, is unique up to a Cs{\rm C}^s-diffeomorphism.
